The Burger With The Lot Australia's own

The Beef Burger with the Lot is a uniquely Australian take on the classic burger. Beetroot, which became popular in Australian burgers in the mid-20th century, is a distinctive element that sets it apart from burgers in other parts of the world.
The term "with the lot" indicates that the burger includes various toppings. While variations exist, traditional toppings often include lettuce, tomato, cheese, bacon, pineapple, beetroot, and a fried egg.
This burger is a beloved staple in Australian cuisine, found in many cafes, pubs, and takeaway shops nationwide. It is celebrated for its hearty and flavourful combination of ingredients.

The basic Oz burger is rissole, lettuce, tomato, onion (raw or fried), beetroot and tomato sauce. Grilled cheese, pineapple, egg etc are all extras (aka 'the Lot'). McDonalds imperialism, and its spongy rolls, American processed cheese and pickles, threatened to plunge the Oz burger into oblivion, but it's held firm at millions of backyard BBQs.

[@BackyardChef]

Horary, agreed! Someone who actually knows what they are talking about. Thank you. Best, Rik

[@johngibson3837]

Mate one with the lot tells you what's on it, pineapple/cheese/egg is part of it not extras

[@scathatch]

Thankyou Rick. Our local country store does the best burgers with the lot. Yes...the lot!...... so delicious, filling and nutritious. Macdonalds can't compete!! The buns are bigger and though not as high as yours, impossible to eat without making a mess🤣 We live in Victoria. In Regional NSW they are also filled with bean sprouts and there are vegetarian options with tofu and tempe burgers....all sooo good.

[@ronnie6079]

Hi rick, that budget is a total NO aussie burgers are not that time consuming the burger bacon and onion and egg cook on a grill not a ridge pan the buns are toasted lettuce finely sliced on bottom with tomato beetroot then cheese on burger in the pan the onion and bacon pineapple is browned while putting your burger on salad add pineapple tomato sauce then the lid and yes squish . The reason for salad on the bottom is some blokes don't eat salad, always interesting when they tern upside remove the bun flick salad off bun back on then eat. I enjoy your food and some english recipes are awesome for family friendly meals without the fuss . All the best from Australia

[@rebeccasunflower]

Not bad, Rick, though a couple of things to keep in mind are thinner sliced tomato and bacon. And fry the onion. It’s not usually as tall as your beauty! Thanks for giving our Aussie burger a go! 🍔

[@BackyardChef]

Thank you. I don't do thin bacon I make my own. I like to eat bacon. Fried onions would be ok - I can take them or leave them. Best, Rik

An Australian here. Well done Chef. We tend to use rolls that have about 2+ times the realestate. I prefer my eggs over hard (not runny), I will. Have to try some mayo on some. Beetroot definitely makes the burger better. We also caramelise our onions as well. I guess there is no right or wrong way of doing them, just different ways.

I will tell you a little story about my first encounter with the great Aussie burger, I arrived in Aus in 1972 in June, and walking along Hunter St in Newcastle we went into a burger bar and asked for a burger. The assistant asked if we wanted plain or withtheworks, and we said we wanted the plain one. As we stood there watching her assembling our burgers we noticed she was putting lettuce, tomato, cucumber , onion and beetroot on them so I called to her that we asked for the plain one. She shot back at me in some attitude and said "This IS plain", and thats what a plain burger here is. When we said plain, we meant like in Wimpy Bar in UK which just had the meat and onion on it !!! It was an eye opener for us....

I grew up big and strong on those things lol. We used to call them Works Burgers, where I grew up. You would walk in, say "One with the works, thanks mate" and something extremely similar would arrive in your hot little hands lol. Then, the trick was to find a quiet little spot where you would unwrap the Burger, lay the paper down as a catch-all, and just let the mayhem unfold forthwith lol Would you believe that back then, they even came with a very thin piece of unchewable steak as well lol. At least they did where I grew up. My method was to always rip out the steak and eat that first separately. At least that gave the Burger a chance of some vague form of stabilisation lol :) It's so good to still see them still survive around the traps :)

Is the beet root pickled or plain? Either way would be awesome! ❤

[@BackyardChef]

The beetroot here is homemade only slightly pickled. Thank you. Best, Rik

Wow Rik how on earth did that tower of a burger stay standing lol it must taste amazing once you can get your mouth around it 🤣thank you , 🍔Amanda xx

[@BackyardChef]

Ha ha ha - yes it is probably the best tasting burger in the world to me. Love pineapple and beetroot the combo makes this burger. Could cut everything thin and squish it - not for me, I love mess. Thank you. Best, Rik

Better than most in oz, sensational effort. For obvious reasons most slice toppings thinner and press patty thinner (admittedly different if doing it from frozen unless thin when pressed). Maccas used to do an Aussie but has since dropped it from the menu.

Love a fried egg on my burger. How to you eat that? With a big bib of course!

[@BackyardChef]

Thank you. Yes indeed! Best, Rik

You have it a good go Rik. Come out here and see what they do. Do 'yaself a fava'.

Wow!. I've never had a burger with beetroot or pineapples before. R those beet root slices cooked or raw?

[@BackyardChef]

Cooked. Thank you. Best, Rik

[@bradh74]

Never knew Aussies had a Beet, Pineapple Egg burger! Sounds weird at first but Pickled Beets would be good instead of Dill Pickles. Now you just need a little Sriracha on that to give it a kick, it works great with pickles so probably beets, too! With a salad you have all the food groups there!

You need to fry then onions.

[@BackyardChef]

Yes you can. Thank you. Best, Rik

[@cindersmolloy6584]

You are right, these are the best burgers on the planet, served up with a a side order of potato scallops and a milkshake, , heaven. I watched thousands of these cooked in my lifetime, Onions are always cooked and no mayo, not in my time. Also a burger with the lot does not include pineapple. The correct order for this is Burger with the lot plus pine.

[@BackyardChef]

Thank you. What i can't understand why anyone thinks there is a order to anything - its what you like to put in. Best, Rik

[@Duchess_of_Cadishead]

In Victoria it does include pineapple, and here we call them potato cakes 😀😀

[@cindersmolloy6584]

@@Duchess_of_Cadishead I knew about your moniker for scallops! Had relatives in victoria so I used to travel down a lot.

Hi Rik, you needed a stake through that to keep it together, maybe a traditional oz flag to to represent the importance of the Burger. maybe it should have been kangaroo!!!!!!

[@BackyardChef]

Thank you. Best, Rik

Wider thinner slices of everything, reduces the "tower" effect yours had. One thin slice of bacon One slice of cheese Pineapple optional.( Not for me) Onions cooked.(I prefer without onions) Egg usually cooked in egg ring, yoke poked when cooking to stop running. You got the key ingredient. Look up Andrew's Hamburgers in Albert Park - been making them for decades. Not a bad effort for a Pom.

[@BackyardChef]

Eh Ta!

Anything worth doing is worth overdoing.

[@oml81mm]

I would certainly eat that, but without the melted plastic cheese. Extra points for beetroot (not pickled, I hope) and raw onion!

[@BackyardChef]

Thank you. Best, Rik

My goodness Rik,that was interesting I had never heard of this Australian dish,learn something new every day.I like my hamburgers a bit plainer,about 6-8 ounces of beef pan,or grill cooked to a nice pink middle,then a slice of cheese,and a dollop of ketchup,or if I’m going crazy then some nice onion,fried,or raw.Seriously though Rik about the beetroot is it pickled as we always had it in England when I was a child,or is it just cooked,which I first had in the States? thanks Rik😊
