An amazing Slimming friendly Five Guys Fakeaway Recipe
Ingredients
- For the burger:
- 450g extra lean (less than 5% fat) beef mince
- 1 small onion finely chopped
- 1 garlic clove, finely chopped
- 2 tsp fat free natural yogurt
- Salt & pepper to taste
- Toppings:
- 4 Bacon Medallions, cubed
- 4 American Cheese Slices
- Handful of mushrooms, finely chopped
- Handful of onions, finely chopped
- Iceburge lettuce, cut into small strips
- 1 Beef tomato, slices
- White burger buns
- 1 pickled gherkin, sliced
- ketchup
- mustard
- mayo
Instructions
- To make the burgers, gently fry off the chopped onion until cooked through, being careful that the onion doesn't go brown or black! Once cooked, set aside to cool
- Add the garlic, a pinch of salt & pepper, yogurt and the cooled onions to the minced beef and mix together until blended.
- Divide the mixture into 4 portions and using your hands, shape each portion into a burger. Set aside.
- Place a frying pan sprayed with low calorie oil spray over a medium-high heat and cook the onions and mushrooms, then remove and set aside.
- Repeat with the bacon chunks, remove and set aside.
- Start to fry off the burgers in a pan with a medium heat.
- Mean while prepare the buns. The 'Five Guys' way requires 1 tbsp ketchup and 1 tsp mustard are added to the bottom of the bun. Then pile the onions and mushrooms on top.
- On the other half, add 1 tbsp mayo and the shredded lettuce and sliced pickles. You would add the tomatoes to the lettuce and pickles as well. I don't like tomatoes, so left them out of mine.
- When the burgers have cooked all the way through, add a slice of cheese onto each one. Then top with the cooked bacon.
- When the burgers have cooked, stack them on the bottom of the bun with the mushroom and ketchup them
- Wrap them in foil and leave for 3 minutes to give that authentic taste.
Notes
Makes 2 portions which is 2x2 burgers.
