Edward?s Beef Burger

Tue, 21 August 2018

I simply adore this recipe for homemade burgers. I love to have a burger at least once a week and with some much different flavouring you can experience a different burger every time you indulge. The recipe we have listed will make 6-7 substantial sized burgers so you can wrap them up in cling film and freeze some until they are required. Also if you wish use this recipe to make meat balls to serve with tomato enriched spaghetti.

1 ½lb/700g Lean Minced beef

1 bunch spring onions/ ½ medium onion-finely sliced

2 tablespoons sweet chilli jam

1 tablespoon freshly chopped mixed herbs

Seasoning

2oz/50g breadcrumbs

2oz/50g grated cheese (parmesan, cheddar, blue, mozzarella) 

1 large egg

 

Put the minced beef into a large mixing bowl.

Add in the finely diced onion.

Mix in the breadcrumbs, cheese and chopped parsley together with the chilli.

Season the mixture with a little salt and pepper.

Add in the egg and mash the mixture together with your hands using the egg as a binding agent.

Divide the mixture into 6-7 pieces and using a little plain flour shape them into your desired shapes about ½ inch thick.

Allow to rest in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.

Cooking Instructions:

Place the burgers on to a baking sheet and put them into the preheated oven (180C)

for approximately 20 minutes until they are fully cooked. Cut one in the centre just to make sure as undercooked mince is a high risk product.

Serving Instructions:

Cut a bread roll/burger bun in half and grill lightly

Mix some mayonnaise with a little sweet chilli jam and spread this on top of the bun.

Grill a rasher on the grill

Serve the burger on top of the bun with a little lettuce, crispy bacon and some sliced tomato and red onion marmalade.
