Ingredients

Scale
  • 500 g (14oz) frozen waffle fries
  • 1 tbsp oil (avocado/rapeseed/olive oil)
  • 1 medium onion (peeled and finely chopped)
  • 500 g (1lb 2oz) minced (ground) beef
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp ground black pepper
  • ½ tsp oregano
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp garlic powder/granules (or use garlic salt, but leave out the regular salt)
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 3 tbsp finely chopped pickled cornichons or dill pickles
  • 4 tbsp tomato ketchup
  • 4 tbsp mayo (light mayo)
  • 1 tbsp American yellow mustard
  • 200 g (4 cups) shredded romaine lettuce

  • 125 g (1 packed cups) mixed grated (shredded) cheese (Cheddar and red Leicester)
  • 60 g sliced dill pickles

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven and cook the waffle fries as per the pack instructions.
  2. Make the burger sauce by mixing the sauce ingredients together in a small bowl.
  3. About 12 minutes before the waffle fries are ready, make the minced beef. Heat the oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Add the onion and cook for 5 minutes, stirring often, until softened.
  4. Turn the heat up to medium-high. Add the minced beef, salt, and pepper and cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring often and breaking up any chunks until the beef is browned.
  5. Add the oregano, paprika, garlic powder, Worcestershire sauce, and chopped pickles. Stir together and cook for a further minute. Turn off the heat.
  6. Divide the cooked waffle fries between four bowls. Divide the beef between the bowls.
  7. Arrange the lettuce, tomatoes, cheese, dill pickles, and sliced red onion in the bowls.
  8. Serve with the burger sauce you made earlier.
