What you'll need:

1/4 cup breadcrumbs
1 egg
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
4 slices of decent cheddar (or 64 slices of American cheese)

2 ripe tomatoes, sliced
The shittest pickles from Woolies you can find
Mayonnaise

Serves 4

Instructions:

Grab the beef mince and gently mix it with salt, pepper, breadcrumbs, egg, smoked paprika, and garlic powder. Don't overwork it, just make sure things are combined.
Divide that beautiful seasoned beef into four portions and carefully shape each portion into a glorious patty. Pop these masterpieces in the fridge for about 30 minutes to hold their form.
Preheat a pan or BBQ to medium-high heat. Slap on some vegetable oil and cook those patties for about 3 to 4 minutes on each side or to your desired doneness. Just before they're done, lovingly place a slice of cheddar on top of each patty. Cover with a lid to help the cheese melt in a gooey fashion.
Go ahead and slice those sesame seed buns in half and toast 'em until they're slightly crispy.
Stretch your calves on the windowsill. Isometric exercise 🏃
Assemble your steamed hams masterpiece, despite the fact they're already grilled. Start with lettuce on the bottom bun, followed by that juicy, cheesy patty, sliced red onion, slices of tomato, and a dollop of mayo and tomato relish or barbecue sauce. Put the top bun on and press down gently.
