The BEST Beef burgers

Rissoles with veggies or salad

These are decidedly, the best beef burgers you will ever taste. Who decided? Me! I love them. So did Summer. 

Isabel just wasn't interested in dinner, she ate an apple. I think Brett liked them.

They are yumptious, scrumptious. There's no egg, or breadcrumbs so easy too, if you don't have any in your larder. All you need is BBQ sauce, of some sort (use tomato sauce if you have too) and worcestershire sauce. If you don't have that use soy sauce.

Here's how you can make them. It's easy.

The BEST Beef Burgers

400 - 500 grams of beef mince
1 onion, grated
2 cloves garlic, minced or finely grated
2 tablespoons barbecue sauce(I used a smoky one)
1 tablespoon worcestershire sauce
60 grams cheese, grated. (Any sort you have)
1/4 cup chopped parsley(Optional. Because some kids, like mine, don't like any sign of green)

#hottip - use egg rings to make patties uniform

Combine all ingredients. Best done by getting your fingers in the bowl and scrunching it all together.

Using an egg ring as a mould, press the mince mixture in to form burgers. Remove ring. Repeat until all burger mince has been used.

Fry or grill burgers until cooked through.

Lasagne

This is the recipe I use for lasagne. I made this one for my neighbours on the arrival of their third baby. My good deed done. Brett was very disappointed when I told him not to touch it! 

Beef mince filling

500 gr beef mince

2 cans crushed tomatoes

1 onion, chopped

1 Tspn mixed herbs

3/4 cup stock or just water

Brown mince and onion. Add rest of ingredients and simmer for 20 minutes.

Cheese Sauce

3-4 Tbsp plain flour

2 Tbsp margarine

120 gr grated cheese

2 cups milk

salt and pepper

Melt butter, and add flour, stir to combine.

Remove from heat and add a little of the milk at a time and whisk until it is smooth.

Put it back on the heat and stir until it thickens.

Stir in cheese, salt and pepper.

* If you can't be bothered with the cheese sauce, use a bag of grated mozzarella instead. 

You will need some lasagne sheets. I usually start with two boxes. Or if you're that way inclined, make you're own pasta, it is so much better, and worth trying just once.

You will need some extra cheese for the top and some bacon pieces. 

Don't forget when layering to leave a bit of the cheese sauce for the top.

Start by putting a ladle full of the mince sauce on the bottom of the dish. Cover this with a layer of pasta.

Add a layer of mince, and then a layer of cheese sauce. Cover again with pasta sheets.

Repeat the layering of mince and cheese sauce, ending with a covering of pasta sheets.

Spread the rest of the cheese sauce over the top.

Sprinkle on grated cheese and bacon pieces.

Bake for 30 - 40 minutes.
