Dad and Lottie's Burgers

Burgers really are the things that you can chop and change the flavours. You can add a dash of cream to make it softer, chillis and Worcestershire sauce to make it darker and spicier or smokey bbq. You choose! This is a good base with an Italian flavour:

600g good quality beef mince

1 onion, finely chopped

Italian mixed herbs

1 tbsp Tomato paste

1 tsp wholegrain mustard (can use dijon)

2 crusts of bread made into breadcrumbs

Salt and Pepper

Burger buns, toasted.

Heat oil in a non-stick fry pan or griddle and cook until lovely and brown on each side and cooked through the middle (this will vary dependent on the size).

Serve in a bun with cheese (if you like it), lovely fresh salad and your choice of sauces. For added yummyness, grill the cheese - or use a blow torch if you're a pyromaniac.

With coleslaw and oven baked sweet potato chips
