Ingredients

2 tomatoes, thinly sliced
1/2 red onion, peeled and thinly sliced
4 slices of Suffolk Gold cheese (or cheese of your choice)
4 slices of Suffolk Blue cheese (or blue cheese of your choice)
4 large bread buns, split and toasted (I used wholemeal with seeds)
Stokes tomato ketchup (or ketchup of your choice)
salad and chips to serve

Optional

Note

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.
