Divide the meat into 4 pieces and loosely form into balls. Mix the sauce together.
Fry the onions until soft and caramelised on medium low heat, approximately 8-12 minutes.
Heat pan to a high heat and add aa small amount of oil until it just coats the bottom of the pan.
Place a hamburger ball on the pan and using a piece of baking paper press down hard with a large spatula. Try and get the patty as thick as you can. Cook for 2-3 minutes on the first side.
Flip and add some of the caramelised onions, then a slice of cheese, cook for another 1-2 minutes.
Toast the burger buns on medium heat in a dry pan then build the burger.
Coat both buns with the sauce then stack the bottom bun with lettuce, then tomatoes, then burger, then pickles and finally bun.
