I got this recipe from a Coles (grocery store) junk mail flyer years ago. In my quest for the perfect burger ... this is the best I've found. My only qualifications are:
1. It tastes good.
2. It doesn't fall apart !!!

Shape into burgers. The recipe says it makes 4 burgers but I got four big burgers and 4 little burgers out of it.
If you are like me and hate getting raw meat on your hands ... make sure you put your latex gloves on. You know, like at the doctors office ? I keep a box of those under my sink !!!
I made these in the afternoon while I had the mince out for my big cookup. I covered and put them into the fridge til we were ready to eat. Doing them ahead of time always makes them that little bit better ! When you are ready ... BBQ burgers. Serve. EASY !! And they are sooo yum. We haven't had burgers in ages ~ man were they a taste sensation !!
The photo above has my burger topped with ketchup, mustard, mayo, cheese, onions sauteed on BBQ, tomato and dill pickles. Usually we have lettuce and avocado as well but I forgot to buy them ! DUH !! And if you want to go really Aussie ... sliced beetrooot (beets) from a can !! AND Rory put a fried egg on his as well.

looks delicious, but what is farlic? lol!
ReplyDeleteha ha ! I, obviously, didn't notice that !!
ReplyDeletefarlic (v.) - to lick from a great distance.
The farlic definition is totally something me and my boyfriend would do.
ReplyDeleteLove it! That and the burger looks yummy!
Looks a lot like what Gareth does when he makes burgers...he always adds worchestersire sauce and whatever other spice or herb he feels like!
ReplyDeleteBut I have to admit they are always tasty...as the American way usually is just the meat with some nominal spice sprinkled on top...needless to say he always gets rave reviews when he does up the burgs.
Also...he calls the hamburger meat mince or mince meat as well...South Africa has quite a few similarities with Australia I am coming to find out!
...also i have a big box of gloves in my pantry as well...for when i make sausages...the hog casings are just too much...my imagination gets the best of me...
