Bacon burgers with chilli jam

Step by Step

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 200ºC, gas mark 6. Put the bacon and the burgers on separate baking trays. Put both in the oven and cook for 20 minutes, adding the buns for the final 3 minutes to toast.

Step 2

Take the burgers and buns out of the oven, checking the juices run clear and no pink meat remains. If the bacon needs a little longer to crisp up, give it 3-4 minutes more, then pat with kitchen paper to remove any excess fat.

Step 3

To build the burgers, spread the bases and tops of the buns with the mayonnaise, then the chilli jam. Lay the lettuce leaves, sliced tomato and red onion on top of the bases, then add the burgers. Top with the bacon and finish with the bun tops.
