Oh my goodness, who needs McDonalds?

I have just had a bacon double cheeseburger for dinner! Made some syn free burgers. Had 2 burgers in a wholemeal roll with my Hex A cheese and a side salad.

Fantastic!

That's sounds mouth watering. Is the recipe on here must try it.

 

[Gillian576]

The burgers were dead easy. I finely chopped a red onion and cooked it until soft in fry light with a crushed garlic clove. I added this to some extra lean mince with a dash of worcestershire sauce and plenty of salt and pepper. I squished it all together with my hands and formed it into burger shapes. I cooked them under the grill.

I've made burgers before with grated raw onion but I found the oniony taste overpowering. I much preferred this way as the taste was much more 'mellow'.

 

[Gillian576]

Oh and I topped them with a grilled bacon medallion.

Ive made these burgers too - really enjoyed them as did the rest of the family and they are pretty fussy....in fact enjoyed them so much i bought a burger maker and they turn out nice and even each time.

Ooh I might make these for lunch! Much more exciting than a baked 'tata and salad x
