Homemade Burgers (Better than your Local Burger Joint!)

Okay, I’m never ordering a burger again! (Well unless I’m hungover and lazy).

These homemade burgers are tastier and probably healthier than your local burger place, and they don’t take too much work. Make sure you get some good quality mince, not too fatty but not extra lean either as the burger will end up dry.

The following recipe will make 3 large burgers:

Ingredients:

• 400g beef mince (medium fattyness)
• 1/2 cup breadcrumbs (about 2 slices of bread, whizzed in a blender)
• 1/2 an egg, whisked
• 1/3 of an onion, finely chopped
• A spash of Worcester sauce
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 3 bread buns of your choice (I used sesame buns, but brioche would also be great!)
• Fillings of your choice (i.e. tomato, lettuce, red onion, avocado, fried egg, cheese plus condiments)

Method:

1. Combine the first five ingredients in a bowl and form burgers. 
2. Fry in the olive oil for approx five min each side on a medium/low heat. 
3. Meanwhile, toast your buns.
4. Place cooked burgers between a toasted bun and add desired fillings!
