In a large mixing bowl add the ground beef, beaten egg, breadcrumbs, olive oil, Worcestershire sauce, cayenne pepper, garlic and onion powder. Finally add a pinch of salt and a good pinch of pepper and thoroughly mix. I run my hands under cold water, shake off excess and getting mixing. Using your hands is easier than using a spatula/spoon.
2 lbs ground beef, 1 large egg, 2 cloves garlic, 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce, ½ tsp cayenne pepper, ¾ cup breadcrumbs, 2 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp onion powder, salt, ground black pepper
When the mixing is completed, divide into 8 equal portions and form into burger patties.
Turn on the bbq/grill to a high heat.
Lightly oil the grill and place the burger patties on. Cook until browned and flip over. They normally take about 5 minutes per side.
Add the bacon rashers to the grill and cook to your liking remembering to turn frequently.
When the burger is nearly ready, add a slice of Monterey jack and allow to melt.
8 slices Monterey jack
When you have flipped over the burgers, add the halved burger buns for about 30 seconds to turn golden brown and remove.
To construct the baps, add lettuce, bacon, tomato, gherkins and sauce of your choice. Add the burger and cheese and finish with the bun top.
