Directions

• Mulled Wine Sauce: Put all ingredients for mulled wine sauce in a small saucepan. Bring it to a boil, then reduce heat and let it simmer for 30 minutes. Use an immerse blender or a regular blender to thicken the sauce. You dont need to make it completely smooth. Christmas Cheeseburger: Divide minced beef into 4 and make patties that are slightly larger than the bun. Heat a pan and add a tablespoon of oil. Fry the patties for about 4 minutes on one side. Turn around, season with salt and pepper and cover with slices of cheddar. Cook for another 4 minutes for a medium burger or for 5-6 minutes for a well done. Cover with lid if the cheese needs some help with melting. Assembly: Cut the buns in half, spread the mulled wine sauce on the bottom part, add the burger patty, top with arugula and slices of oranges. Cover the burgers and enjoy!
