Last night my boyfriend really craved a cheeseburger. We are not fast food people and so decided to make our own burgers. I first made burgers with my godmother when I was a little kid, I really enjoyed getting my hands messy and if you have kids I would suggest making these with them. Because I am still suffering with RSI Greg did most of the making!
Makes 6 burgers
What you need:
500g lean mince
1 slice of bread

Cheese
1 egg
Method
What you need:

Salt, pepper, cumin and mixed herbs to taste
Cheese
1 egg
Method
- Take the slice of bread and rub it between your hands, over a big bowl, to make breadcrumbs.
- Season with salt and pepper and add cumin, mixed herbs and anything else you like. It's great fun to experiment.
- Finely slice an onion and add to the bowl.
- Add the mince and beaten egg and mix together with your hands.
- Make the mixture into burger shapes and either shallow fry or grill. We did ours in our George Foreman grill. I also added a small piece of brie into the middle my burger.
- Add toasted burger bun, tomato, lettuce and cheese.
As this recipe is brilliant to make with kids and easy to knock up with a pack or mince I have entered this into Ren Behan's Family Friendly Friday recipe round up.
