With all the excitement of the return of The Great British Bake Off last night you can be forgiven for being unaware that today is in fact National Burger Day!
We are all big fans of the mighty burger here in the Purple office and are regularly left salivating at the pictures Andrew puts on our group WhatsApp of his homemade effort. Happily, Andrew has embraced the spirit of the day and has agreed to share his tried and tested recipe with us all today.
Andrew's Burger Recipe
Ingredients
- Pork Mince
- Pork Sausage meat
- Stuffing Mix (Sage & Onion)
- Ballan’s “Special ’herbs”
- 1 Large Onion
- Breadcrumbs
- 1 large egg
- Apple Sauce
- Bacon
- Cheese
- Onion Rings
- Tomato
- Lettuce
Method
Heat oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. Open the sausage meat and pork mince. Mix the meat into a bowl. Add the breadcrumbs, 2 tbsp apple sauce, stuffing mix and ‘herbs. Chop and add the onion. Crack the egg and use as a binding mixture. Mix well with your hands. Divide the mix into 4, then shape into burgers, pushing the chunks of cheese into the middle of each patty. Make sure the cheese is completely sealed in or it will leak out during cooking.
Place the burgers on a baking tray, then cook for 25 mins until browned and cooked through to the middle.
Towards the end of cooking the burgers, fry the bacon and onion rings.
Split open the buns, stuff with your favourite salad, then top with a burger and some of the remaining apple sauce.
Stack the bacon, onion rings and extra cheese on top.
Enjoy!
We don’t know about you, but we know what we will be having for dinner tonight!
