Homemade beef burgers recipe

1. 1

   Blitz the bread in a blender to make breadcrumbs.

2. 2

   Set aside.

3. 3

   Put the mince and diced onion in a bowl, and crack the egg on top.

4. 4

   Work the egg into the mix with your hands, aiming to distribute the onion evenly through the meat.

5. 5

   Add the breadcrumbs a bit at a time so you can tell if there's a little too much.

6. 6

   If you think your mixture is going to become too dry with more, just stop adding it.

7. 7

   When the mixture is a good consistency and sticks together well, season your mixture with plenty of salt and pepper (plus whatever else you fancy) and work it in.

8. 8

   Roll up four little balls of meat mixture.

9. 9

   They should be about the same size as each other.

10. 10

    Between your palms, work each ball into a flat patty.

11. 11

    Double-check that they're roughly the same size again, and make adjustments if not; otherwise they'll finish cooking at different times.

12. 12

    Under a grill set to high, cook the patties on a lightly greased oven tray for between 10-15 minutes, turning once in the middle of cooking.

13. 13

    Place each patty in a bun and serve.
