Suffolk Gold Double Cheese Burger
Whenever we go across to The Star Country Inn for a family meal out, in North Yorkshire, dad and I start to discuss which burgers we will have before we even get there!We are both fully paid up burger aficionados and The Star Inn does a great range of burgers made with locally sourced beef. There are several favourites on the menu, with the “Fat Elvis Burger” and the “Black and Blue Burger” coming in as the top two; the Fat Elvis Burger is topped with bacon and Cheddar cheese, whilst the Black and Blue Burger is a clever (and tasty) combination of black pudding with Stilton cheese, hence its quirky name. All the burgers are served with salt and pepper chips (lush) and home-made coleslaw, and they are a real treat for both of us.

Dad always has his sans bun and I always have the bun, but it’s always a burger we order when we go there. Burgers are my favourite kind of food – not the soft, pappy type that you get in most large fast-food burger chains, but an honest to goodness 100% prime British beef burger, fully loaded please. So, when I was thinking about what I could make for Father’s Day and what my post would feature, it seemed wholly suitable to feature burgers, and not just any burgers, but my Top Ten Burger Recipes, along with a NEW recipe of mine for aSuffolk Gold Double Cheese Burger.

Note
These delicious double loaded cheese burgers are made with selected Suffolk ingredients and would be perfect for Father's Day or a summer barbecue. Serve with salad and chips for a tasty, filling meal and don't forget the relishes, pickles and more ketchup on the side!
Directions
Step 1 | Heat a large griddle pan or frying pan and grease it with a little oil; alternatively, heat up a La Plancha grill or a Barbecue. |
Step 2 | Mix some salt and pepper with the minced beef or steak and shape into four large burgers; I shaped mine to fit the buns I was using. |
Step 3 | Cook the burgers in the pan or on the La Plancha or Barbecue for about 3 to 4 minutes on one side, according to how you like your burgers and the thickness of them. |
Step 4 | Turn them over and add the sliced tomatoes, onions and the two slices of cheese - one slice of Suffolk Gold and one slice of Suffolk Blue per burger and cook for a further 2 to 3 minutes, or according to taste. |
Step 5 | Meanwhile, split the buns in half and toast them; arrange them on a plate and put some tomato ketchup on the bottom half as well as burger sauce if using. |
Step 6 | Carefully place a cooked and loaded burger on top of the bottom half of bread bun and serve with assorted pickles, salad, relished and chips. |
