burger

• 1kg minced beef (it is best not to use the lean mince as fat will help to keep the burgers moist)
• 1small onion, finely chopped
• 4tbsp fine bread crumbs
• 1egg, lightly beaten
• 1red chilli,finely chopped
• 1tsp salt
• 1tsp mustard power or mustard
• 1/2 tsp black pepper
• 2 cloves garlic, crushed

Method
Place the beef in a large bowl and add the remaining ingredients. Mix it all together until just combined. This is best done by hand but don't over-work the mixture or you'll get a tough burger.
Wet you hands then shape the mixture into burgers by flattening the mixture in your hand about 2cm or 1 inch thick and smoothing he edges.
The burgers can now be cooked either on a griddle pan, non-stick frying pan with a bit of oil, or even a barbeque. Make sure you pre-heat the fying pan, griddle pan or barbeque to a medium heat.
Cook the burgers for about 5 minutes on each side, turning them once only.
