Homemade burgers

[cheeky.xx]

Oh and I discovered last week how easy burgers were to make from scratch :eek: simple, you know exactly what goes into them, and when put on the griddle (or a george foreman grill) very low fat!

We chose turkey burgers and they were absolutely delicious :D so much so we're making lamb burgers this week! (oh insisted lol)

This is the recipe we used last week for the turkey burgers:

http://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/2528/thai-turkey-burgers

And this week we have used the same method and have used the following ingredients:

400g lamb mince
2/3 tbsp mint sauce (not diluted)
1 lge red onion (finely chopped)
Salt & pepper to taste
85g Breadcrumbs
1 beaten egg
1 tbsp sunflower oil

Give it a whirl, the best bit is you can use whatever ingredients you like, when we have them again (not next week! :rolleyes: no matter what oh says) we're thinking of beef and jalapeno's.

Sounds great! I agree...homemade everything always tastes best...you can taste all the flavours, and the best thing is that you always know what's in the food you're eating because you've added all the ingredients yourself :) xxx

Mexican hamburgers

A new favourite at our house



900 g ground beef
1/2 cup ketchup
1 tbsp Worchestershire sauce
1 tsp freshly ground pepper
1 tsp chili powder
1 tsp cumin powder
1 tsp chipoltle seasoning (Mrs dash)

mix together in a large bowl. form into patties.
(what you don't want to eat can be frozen for another time. Just make sure you put parchment paper between the burgers)

Place patties on the bbq. close the lid. Cook each side 5-10 minutes or until the center is well cooked. Rotate the burgers once per side to make grill marks. For cheeseburgers, place a slice of cheese on top of each burger the last three minutes of cooking.

serve with sliced tomatoes, sliced red onion, lettuce and guacamole( 1 ripe avocado mashed into 1/4 cup salsa)


Yummy!!
