Two meat pies. Four patties. Four slices of cheese. One epic burger.

Forget the Lamington burger, an Aussie meat pie cheeseburger has been invented and honestly, we would definitely eat it.

The burger consists of four burger patties, four slices of cheese, pickles and tomato sauce sandwiched between two Vegemite pies. Are you hungry yet?

Introducing the Aussie meat pie cheeseburger

Created by owner of the butcher shop, Warnbro Quality Meats in Western Australia (who FYI also have a gin, tonic and black truffle-flavoured sausage), Raymond Caldwell told taste.com.au he had the idea for the meat pie cheeseburger a few weeks before Australia Day but had to find the perfect pie to go with his creation.

“When I saw that our local Pinjarra Bakery had come up with a Vegemite and cheese pie, I knew I had found the right pie.

“I decided to go with four patties as it was a way of getting the burger to look extra special,” he said.

When it came to eating his concoction, he ditched the knife and fork and dug straight in.

He said: “Believe me, (eating) it wasn’t pretty! It weighed nearly a kilo and I didn’t have to eat for the whole day afterwards!”

Aussie food mash-ups

While we’ve certainly never seen anything quite like Raymond’s meat pie cheeseburger before, there’s no doubt we’re huge fans of the Aussie-inspired mash-up. Remember our Meat pie in a cob, Giant Gaytime lamington cake, Fairy bread pavlova, or our very own Hamburger pie which graced the cover of taste.com.au magazine all the way back in May 2015? Whatever the mash-up, we’re here for it.
