Note 1 You can use either frozen or fresh beef patties. If using frozen, they will take approximately 5 mins longer to cook than using fresh beef patties.
Note 2 The sauce you see in the photos throughout the post is the Spicy Yogurt Sauce. A nice change from a sweet ketchup or mustard but feel free to use your favorite sauce!
Note 3 This method ensures that the cheese will stay on the beef patty. I tested along the way and found if I didn't use this method, the cheese would 'fly off' and melt through the basket alongside but not ON the beef patty.
