Cook once, with a twist for lunch. Cook an amazing dinner as usual, then put a new spin on the recipe to create something different for lunch the next day. Dig into a beef burger with baconnaise (yep, our delicious new creation) and spiced chips for dinner, then serve up Asian flavours with beef patties, rice and veggies for lunch. Extra delicious!

Preheat the oven to 220°C/200°C fan-forced. Cut the potato (unpeeled) into 1cm fries. Place on an oven tray lined with baking paper. Sprinkle with the All-American spice blend, season with salt and pepper, drizzle with olive oil and toss to coat. Bake until tender, 20-25 minutes.
TIP: Cut the potato to the correct size so it cooks in the allocated time.
While the fries are baking, finely chop the bacon. Combine the beef mince, egg, fine breadcrumbs (see ingredients list), soy sauce (1 tbs for 2 people / 1 1/2 tbs for 4 people) and a pinch of pepper in a medium bowl. Using damp hands, form into 2cm-thick patties slightly larger than your buns (4 patties for 2 people / 6 patties for 4 people).
TIP: Make a shallow indentation in the centre of each patty to help prevent it puffing up as it cooks.
In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over a medium-high heat. Add the bacon and cook until golden and crisp, 5-6 minutes. Transfer to a small bowl. Add the beef patties to the pan and cook, turning, until browned and cooked through, 4-5 minutes each side. Remove patties from the heat and slice 2 patties into quarters (these will become your lunch!).
TIP: If your pan is getting crowded, cook in batches for the best results, adding more oil as needed
While the patties are cooking, thinly slice the tomato. Add the garlic aioli to the bowl with the bacon and mix well. Remove the frying pan from the heat and add the quartered patties, Sichuan garlic paste, the water and remaining 1 tbs soy sauce. Gently stir to coat the patties. Set aside until you're ready to prepare lunch. Place the bake-at-home burger buns on a wire rack in the oven until heated through, 3 minutes.
Divide the spiced fries between plates. Spread the bases of the buns with the baconnaise. Top with the beef patties, tomato and the mixed salad leaves.
When you're ready to pack your lunch, drain the sweetcorn, finely chop the spring onion and roughly chop the baby spinach leaves. In a medium bowl, combine the microwavable brown rice (no need to heat it!), sweetcorn, spring onion, spinach and sesame oil (if using). Toss to combine, then divide between two microwave-safe containers. Top with the Sichuan-glazed patties, plus any leftover glaze from the pan and serve with the crispy shallot packets. Refrigerate and at lunchtime, remove the packet of crispy shallots and microwave until heated through, 2-3 minutes. Sprinkle over the crispy shallots.
