These burgers would be great for either lunch or dinner. Why not get the older children in the house to put these together.

Ingredients

• 750 grams lean minced beef
• 1 cup grated of finely diced cheddar cheese
• 1/2 cup chopped parsley
• 1 finely diced small onion
• 1 egg
• 2-3 slices bread, crumbed
• 1/2 cup tomato sauce

Method

1. In a bowl put the lean minced beef, cheese, parsley, onion, egg, breadcrumbs, tomato sauce and a seasoning of salt and pepper. Mix well.
2. Mould into 8 even shaped patties and cook over a moderate heat on a greased barbecue or in a frying pan for 5-7 minutes each side until the burgers are golden.
3. Alternatively you can grill the burgers under a moderately hot heat for the same time until cooked and golden. Serve the burgers on a crispy bun, with sliced beetroot, a slice or two of tomato and a leaf of crispy lettuce.
