Method

1. Putting it all together:.
2. First up, time to make the secret (well not so secret now) burger sauce. All you need to do mix together well the sour cream, dill, onion, salt, pepper and lemon juice. Finish by drizzling some olive oil.
3. Place covered in the fridge until ready to use. This can keep for about a week and is great on other sandwiches or even served with a steak or lamb.
4. Just for a heads up, this sauce sort of tastes like Maccas Big Mac sauce! You are warned!
5. For the patties, all you need to do it gently shape your 6 patties using your hands, be gentle and do not work the meat too much. Do no add salt and freshly ground black pepper until you are just about to cook.
6. You should cook your burger like you would a steak! (Watch the VIDEO here).
7. In the UNREFINED episode I cooked the burgers on my little coal hibachi grill, but you can use what ever is best for you at home – the barbecue or even a nice heavy based frying pan or skillet. Cool the burgers like you would a steak, season well on both sides with salt and freshly ground black pepper and add to a medium–high grill or pan. Cook, flipping once then adding the cheese to the top, to medium rare (or to your liking).
8. While the burgers are cooking, crisp up your bacon until it is dark golden and crisp.
9. Cut the buns in half and toast to golden brown, butter.
10. Serve each burger by smothering of my secret burger sauce, patty, pickles and bacon, all sandwiched between that soft yellow potato bun.
