Method
Place all ingredients into a small bowl, stir to combine. Set aside until required.
Divide the mince into 4 equal portions.
Using clean hands, form each portion into round balls.
Heat 2 Tbsp of oil in a large pan. Place mince balls into hot pan and flatten patties with a spatula.
Cook for 2-3 minutes on high heat, then flip patties over. Cover each patty with a slice of cheese, and cover with a lid for a minute. It's ready when patties are slightly charred and cheese has melted.
Remove from pan and set aside.
Spread mayo on cut sides of brioche buns. Toast in a hot oven at 180°C for 10 mins, until lightly browned and crisp.
Spread burger sauce on bottom buns. Place cheese patties over, and top with onion rings, bacon, burger sauce and top bun.
Serve with tater tots and extra tomato relish for dipping.
