If you have a big appetite and a total carnivore then the Monster Burger is one for you. This behemoth of a burger is an exquisite symphony of flavours and textures, meticulously assembled to provide an unforgettable dining experience. Let’s take a closer look at what makes this burger truly monstrous, yet undeniably delectable.
The Foundation: A Quality Beef Burger
The heart of any great burger is the patty, and our Monster Burger boasts a beef patty that is second to none. Made from premium cuts of beef, the patty is seasoned to perfection, ensuring each bite is packed with robust, savoury flavour. Cooked to your preferred level of doneness, the patty remains juicy and tender, making it the perfect foundation for this towering creation.
Double the Cheese: Cheddar and Monterey Jack
No burger is complete without a generous helping of cheese, and the Monster Burger does not disappoint. This colossal burger features not one, but two types of cheese: sharp Cheddar and creamy Monterey Jack. The Cheddar brings a tangy edge, while the Monterey Jack adds a smooth, mellow richness. Together, they melt lovingly over the hot beef patty, creating a gooey, irresistible layer that ties all the components together.
Crisp and Fresh: Red Onion, Lettuce, and Tomato
Balancing the richness of the beef and cheese, our Monster Burger includes a selection of fresh vegetables. Sliced red onion provides a subtle yet crisp bite, enhancing the overall texture. Fresh lettuce adds a delightful crunch, while juicy slices of tomato contribute a touch of sweetness and acidity. These elements not only elevate the flavour profile but also add a refreshing contrast to the burger’s heartier ingredients.
A Flavourful Finish: Relish and Sesame Seed Bap
To round off this beautiful creation, a generous dollop of relish is spread over the burger. This simple addition infuses it with a tangy, slightly sweet zest that perfectly complements the other flavours. The entire ensemble is then nestled in a soft sesame seed bap. The bap, with its slight nuttiness from the sesame seeds, provides the perfect basement and roof for our Monster Burger. Basically it holds all the ingredients together without overpowering their individual tastes.
The Monster Burger is not just a meal; it’s an experience. Each ingredient is included to create a harmonious blend of flavours and textures that will tantalise your taste buds. Whether you’re a burger enthusiast or just in search of an indulgence, the Monster Burger promises to deliver unparalleled satisfaction. So why not treat yourself to this gastronomic masterpiece? Your palate will undoubtedly thank you.

To who ever loaded this, thank you.
Never been one for large burgers but this one is soft, moist, tasty and has a mix of textures.
I made this for me last week and it was stonking. Football is on so made them for the guys and a big thumbs up. If only England football could be as good.
Makes McD look pathetic and I know where the ingredeints come from. Excellent.
Seriously good burger recipe. The boys were quiet watching the footbal while eating these. Never know them to be quiet when football is on!
I always have the big Moma Biurger at my local pub. This is bigger and so much better.
My wife saw this and thought if me. Mot sure if she is trying to kill me but what a good way to go. Everything was so tasty and worked so well together. Loved the relish.
Only change was I used a beef/pork mixture.
What a burger. Even fussy Dave loved it. Made 6 and not a crumb left over.
Left out the salad and it was perfect.
Made these for the soccer night and Ive never known the room to be so silent.
