The Best Burgers :-/

Wednesday's cooking group was on the burger theme - yes I was tired of people wanting pre-packaged mystery meat from the supermarket and then calling them burgers!


Now to be honest I thought I was making a simple beef burger and chicken burger recipe (actually making it up as I went along rather than using a 'real' recipe) but as a couple of the staff indicated that they were the 'best ever', I thought I should post the recipes.


Beef Burgers
1 1/4 kg beef mince
3 small onions, finely diced
1 small handful shredded bacon
A bit of fresh rosemary
2 eggs
Plain flour - about 3 T subject to the mix (you might need a bit more).


Put on the gloves and massage thoroughly. Form into balls and flatten. If possible, refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. Pan fry or barbecue.


Chicken Burgers
750 g chicken mince
1 small onions, finely diced
About 5 sage leaves, chiffonade
2 medium mushrooms, finely diced (optional)
1 egg
Plain flour - about 2 T subject to the mix (you might need a bit more)


Put on the gloves and massage thoroughly. Form into balls and flatten. If possible, refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. Pan fry or barbecue.


We did a make-your-own lunch so the burgers were served with bowls of fresh bread rolls, sliced tomato, finely shredded lettuce, sliced cucumber, pineapple pieces (it is Australia ...), mushrooms cooked in butter, sauteed onion rings and a bowl of melted blue cheese/cheddar cheese and folks could layer in whatever they wanted to.
