Recipe: The Insanity Burger

I think it’s safe to say that if you’ve read my blog before, you’ll know that I’m a bit of a burger fan. Ok, not just a bit, I am basically obsessed.

So when I flicked through the Jamie Oliver ‘Comfort Foods’ cook book and saw something called the ‘Insanity Burger’ you can imagine my excitement. I mentally flicked through my calendar to work out when I would next be able to attempt the Insanity Burger, contemplating whether I could cancel any of my dinner plans just to stay at home and make it (ok, I’m kidding, but I just wanted to demonstrate my sheer excitement).

One Sunday evening (my favourite day for cooking), when we didn’t have any social plans, we set about making the burger. And boy, was it worth it.

I’m not going to repeat the recipe, as you can find it here. However, I just had to write about this and bring it to your attention, because it’s definitely up there in the top burgers I’ve ever eaten. It’s not a ‘delicate’ meal, and it’s certainly not one for boring ‘clean eating’ days, but trust me, this is worth making your ‘cheat meal’. Word of warning though, things get VERY messy. Don’t rustle this up on a first date at home, because there is no way to eat this politely! Another piece of advice: this burger is VERY big, so you don’t really need any sides. We had sweet potato fries but they were a little unnecessary. Maybe make a small salad if you do feel you need an accompaniment.

Let me know if you make the Insanity Burger and what you think; LBL is all about sharing some burger love!
