Notes
- Add some extra flavour to these burgers with either rosemary or thyme or some finely chopped red onion.
- Serve the burgers with sweet potato fries and/or Mexican coleslaw or Sweetcorn Salsa.
- You can cook these burgers on the BBQ for about 4-5 minutes each side.
- If you are going to freeze these burgers, then freeze the when they are still raw and defrost thoroughly before cooking.
- Don't overwork the burger mixture when mixing by hand. This can make the burgers too tough and chewy.
- Put the burgers in the fridge for 30 minutes before cooking, as this will help them to stay together.
- You could make a low carb version of these by skipping the bun and using a giant lettuce leaf to hold the burger and toppings together.
