Mini Cheeseburgers/Sliders

• 1 lb beef mince (sometimes use half beef, half pork)
• 1 small onion thinly chopped
• 1 tsp chopped parsley
• 1 tsp paprika
• 1 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp ground black pepper
• 2 small Or 1 large egg
• 1 large onion thinly sliced
• 3 tbsp ketchup
• 2 tbsp soy sauce (dark)
• 2 tbsp mayonnaise (optional)
• 8 slice burger cheese
• 8 buns - floured or seeded or wholemeal etc

1. Put all of the patty ingredients into a bowl and mix together - I use my hands as I can break down the beef and make sure the flavors evenly combined
2. Divide the mixture into 8 even sections
3. Working with one section at a time, split it in 2 and on a wet surface (to keep the patties moist and moving freely), with wet hands press the 2 halves into thin patties about 3 inches in diameter
4. Take a slice of cheese and fold in half, then in half again so you have a small square and place in the centre of one of the patties
5. Cover with the other patty and work the edges together, shaping and sealing and ensuring that no cheese is showing
6. Repeat until all 8 cheese filled patties are ready for frying
7. Add to a hot frying pan or griddle and cook one side for 5 minutes, don't lift it, you want it to get a crust and seal in the juices
8. Add the onions to the pan and allow to cook in the fat that comes out of the meat
9. In a small bowl mix together the ketchup and soy sauce (and mayo if using)
10. After 5 minutes cooking time carefully flip the patties and cook 5 minutes on other side.
11. This is best done in an uncovered pan as the steam may loosen the patties allowing the cheese to burst out
12. Slice buns, add patties fried onions and a spoonful of sauce - enjoy - snack sized patties for 8 or dinner for 4
