Ingredients
500g beef mince
1/2 cup diced pickles
1 tsp garlic salt
1 tsp onion powder
2 tsp smoked paprika
1/4 cup tomato sauce
1/2 cup breadcrumbs
Pinch of salt
6 thumb-sized pieces of mozzarella cheese
1 red onion
3 sliced brioche burger buns
Method
Add beef mince, pickles, breadcrumbs, garlic salt, smoked paprika, onion powder and tomato sauce into a large bowl. Mix really well until combined.
Divide the mixture into 6 sections.
Spray a large muffin tin with olive oil.
Cut 3 brioche buns in half and press each bun half (toasted side down) into the muffin holes using a glass.
Cut mozzarella into 6 pieces.
Fill each muffin tray 3/4 full with the beef mixture.
Press a piece of mozzarella into the middle and cover with a little more beef.
Top with a slice of onion, spray lightly with olive oil and bake at 200°C for 15–20 minutes or until golden and cooked through.
Serve hot with your favourite burger sauce or tomato sauce for dipping.
