Advantages: I made it!

Disadvantages: I made it.............

It was a drizzly Wednesday afternoon, there was nothing on telly and I had a day off. To make matters worse I was hungry and I couldn't think of anything that I actually wanted to eat. That's when I came up with the idea for the super-duper mega burger..

It basically consists of Jerk sauce, mayonaise, potato waffles, bacon, cheese and two beefburgers.

Altogether for 4 burgers and cooking for 2 people you will need:

* 4 potato waffles,
* 8 slices of cheese (proceesed tastes better but real cheese is better for you)
*8 rashers of bacon (back bacon is better than streaky but more expensive)
* Jerk sauce or brown sauce
* Bottle of mayonaise

To make the beef burgers you will need the following;

* 1 egg
* A pinch of salt
* Black pepper to taste
* 1lb ground beef
* 3 tbs fine dry bread crumbs

This will be enough food for 2 hungry people. The method couldn't be any simpler. Whisk together the egg, salt and black pepper in a large bowl. In a separate bowl mix the breadcrumbs into the beef using a fork or your hands. Then simply mix the two mixtures together and shape into 4 burgers using your hands.

As with most burgers you can grill or shallow fry your burgers. The cooking time depends on the thickness but for an average size burger it should take 6-8 minutes on each side if you are shallow frying on a low - medium heat and the same for the grill. I used to cook my burgers on a george foreman grill which drained off any fat in the burgers, it is also very important to use a really lean mince otherwise you will just get a mouthful of fat.

Cook the waffles and bacon at the same time if you are grilling and if you are shallow frying cook one thing at the time and use the oven to keep things warm.

Then, get yourself a burger bun, the softer the better and put things on it in this order:

Jerk sauce
Slice of cheese
Rasher of bacon
Burger
Mayonaise
Waffle
Slice of cheese
Burger
Rasher of bacon

No-one said they would be small!! This is one burger so repeat the process for the other 3 and serve. Delicious!

Summary: Very very filling and not very healthy but really tasty.
