Double Burgers

Takeaway can get pretty expensive when you need to feed the whole family dinner, so make your own burgers! These burger patties taste great and they're great for your budget, too!

Double Burgers

Serves:

Ingredients

  • 500g heart smart beef mince
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • half a cup breadcrumbs
  • half a cup tomato sauce
  • 1 carrot, finely grated
  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped continental parsley
  • 1 tablespoon oil
  • 8 slices cheese
  • 8 slices bread or 4 hamburger buns

Method

Combine mince, water, breadcrumbs, tomato sauce, carrot and parsley. Form into 8 large, flat burgers (I use a fabulously daggy Tupperware hamburger maker from the 70s). Heat oil in a non-stick frypan to medium heat and cook 4 burgers at a time. Allow 6-7 minutes each side and turn only once.

Toast bread or burger buns, top with a burger, slice of cheese, another burger and another slice of cheese. Serve with extra tomato sauce or barbecue sauce.

Notes:

  • Turn these burgers carefully because they have all the lovely carrot in them, they are a bit crumbly. If you do not have any egg-allergies in the family, mix in an egg to help it all bind together.
  • My kids love these Masterfoods individual squeezy sauces this little novelty actually got my meat-averse child to voluntarily eat a burger on his own, without me feeding him. Amazing!
