Beefburger
Recipe by Graham
Of course burgers are readily available in packets but the greatly improved texture and flavour of your own Beefburgers make them well worth the small amount of effort you need to expend to make them yourself. (It also works out a whole load cheaper!)

How to Cook Beefburger
- Peel and finely chop (or grate) the onion, remove the crusts from the bread and crumble to soft, white inner between your fingers to make breadcrumbs. Finely crumble the stock cube into a dish and add the onion, breadcrumbs, beef, herbs and salt and freshly-ground pepper to taste. Mix this well then beat the egg and add it to bind the mixture.
- Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each portion into a round, flat 'cake' about ½" - ¾" (1cm - 2cm) thick. Heat the fat in a frying pan and cook the burgers for 4-5 minutes on each side over a medium heat (according to your own cooking preference). Alternatively, you can grill your burgers on the barbecue.
- You can server burgers just as they are, in a burger bun with ketchup, or you can melt a little cheese on top. Alternatively you can make Mushroom and Cheese Topping or Bacon and Cheese Topping which are absolutely delicious.
GRAHAM'S HOT TIP:
If serving your burgers in a bun, try and get the ones with Sesame Seeds on top. It just adds a nice 'tang' to the overall flavour.

Marita's Beef Stew and Herb Dumplings is so called because my ex-wife, Marita, frequently used to make it for myself and the kids. Ah, fond memories!
By turning a burger into a pie instead of an open bun, you can achieve a balancing act of immense proportions. A winner every time!
