Method

Prep the ingredients

Peel and dice the onion. Peel and crush the garlic. Grate the Red Leicester and cheddar cheese.
Make up the beef stock cube with 50ml water per serving, for example if you’re cooking for 4, you’ll need 200ml.

Cook the mince

Heat a dash of oil in a large frying pan over a high heat. Add the beef mince, garlic pepper, and onion salt. Fry for 8-10 minutes, breaking up the mince with the back of the spoon. Once the mince is cooked, remove the from the pan, keeping the fat in the pan.
Add the onion to the pan and fry for 3-4 minutes, add the garlic and cook for a minute until fragrant. Add the garlic granules, onion granules and Worcestershire sauce, deglaze the pan, scraping all the browned bits.
Add the ketchup, American mustard, beef stock, and cooked mince to the pan. Bring to a simmer and leave for 3-4 minutes until thickened.

Finish the dish & plate up

Season with salt and pepper, sprinkle the grated cheeses on top and cover with a lid. Leave for 10 minutes until the cheese is completely melted through.
Meanwhile, slice and toast the brioche buns, slice the gherkins.
Plate up - serve the cheeseburger skillet in scoops in the toasted brioche buns, with gherkins, crispy onions and your favourite condiments. Enjoy!
