Homemade Burger Patties

There are a couple of little tricks when I make burgers. One is to combine all the ingredients except for the mince first. Crack 2 eggs into a bowl and whisk up. Add the breadcrumbs, mixed herbs, beef stock cube (don’t leave this out…I’m pretty sure it’s the secret ingredient) crushed garlic and a squeeze of BBQ sauce and mix that all up. Then add your mince and get in there with your hands and mix it all together. Split the mixture into 4 and shape into patties. It’s important to note that normal people might make 6 patties out of this much mince but Josh likes to make man patties so we get 4 jumbo patties out of it. Big is good! If you are making your own burger buns, use this recipe and make it into 6 buns instead of 8 – this will get you the right sized bun for the burger. Coat them lightly in flour and put them in the freezer for about 30 minutes. Josh tells me they hold together much better this way and apparently they stay juicier when you cook them! I would definitely agree with that. Homemade beef burger patties coated in flour on a baking tray Once they’ve been in the freezer, take them out and put em in the frypan. Fry for about 7-8 minutes on either side until they are cooked through. TIP…cover the pan with a lid and they will cook through better. No other burger will ever compare.
