How to Make

  • Step 1: Preheat oven to 400f degrees. Slice bun in half and place on non stick cookie tray; top each half with cheese slices; set aside.

  • Step 2: In a large bowl combine beef, soy sauce, onions, carrots, egg, fennel seeds, ginger, cumin, coriander and 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper, mix well. Separate meat mixture into 4 portions and form into burgers; place on wire rack in an oven roaster; bake for 30 minutes or until no longer pink inside.

  • Step 3: While burgers are cooking make the cheese sauce in a nonstick saucepan over medium heat; combine pizza sauce, mushrooms and parsley, bring to simmer; add all of the shredded cheese and the other quarter teaspoon of cayenne. Simmer uncovered for 10 minutes. Make a slurry of the cornstarch and the water; add to cheese mixture while stirring, simmer until thickened about 5 or 6 minutes.

  • Step 4: When the burgers have cooked for 20 minutes, place the tray of cheese topped buns in the oven with them, to toast and melt the cheese slices.

  • Step 5: To assemble:. Place burger on bottom half of the cheesed bun, spoon sauce over the burger and top with the other half of the cheesed bun. Serve with a green salad or oven fries.
