Inspired by the classic American cheeseburger, this Cheesy Melt in the Middle Beef Burger is sure to suit everyone's tastes. Instead of piling the cheese on top, fold your beef patties around it for a simple way to try something new!
Boxes and ingredients are packed in facilities that handles Peanut, Nuts, Sesame, Fish, Crustaceans, Milk, Egg, Mustard, Celery, Soya, Gluten and Sulphites. Due to the war in Ukraine, it has been necessary to substitute sunflower oil with rapeseed oil in some products without a label change. The FSA have advised that allergic reactions to rapeseed oil are rare.

Instructions
Preheat your oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7.
Chop the potatoes into 2cm wide wedges (no need to peel). Pop them onto a large baking tray. Drizzle with oil, season with salt and pepper, then toss to coat.
Spread out in a single layer. TIP: Use two baking trays if necessary.
When the oven is hot, roast on the top shelf until golden, 25-35 mins. Turn halfway through.
Meanwhile, cut the cheese into even chunks, 1 per person. Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).
In a large bowl, combine the sun-dried tomato paste, garlic and breadcrumbs, then add the beef and pork mince. Season with salt and pepper, then mix together with your hands.
Roll the mince into even-sized balls. Shape into 2cm thick burgers around a chunk of cheese, ensuring they’re well sealed, 1 per person. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw mince.
Pop the burgers onto one side of a baking tray and lay the bacon in a single layer alongside (use another tray if necessary).
Bake on the middle shelf of your oven until cooked through, 12-15 mins. IMPORTANT: The mince is cooked when no longer pink in the middle. Cook bacon thoroughly.
When the wedges, bacon and burgers are almost cooked, halve the burger buns.
Pop onto a baking tray and into the oven to warm through, 2-3 mins.
When everything's ready, spread some mayo (see pantry for amount) over the bun bases. Top with the burgers, crispy bacon and a handful of pea shoots. TIP: Scoop up any escaped cheese from the baking tray and pile on top.
Add the remaining pea shoots to your plates and drizzle over the balsamic glaze.
Serve your melt in the middle burgers with the wedges and salad alongside.
Enjoy!
