Easy Beef and Bacon Burgers

Time: 10 minutes prep, 5 minutes cooking
Makes: 4 burgers








400g beef mince
1/2 a brown onion very finely chopped
2 slices bacon, diced
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 cup fresh soft bread crumbs
1 egg
fresh herbs - I used a handful of parsley and chives, but any herb will do. Oregano would be nice.
salt and pepper
2 tablespoons flour
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
4 hamburger buns, split and toasted
Combine mince, onion, bacon, Worcestershire sauce, bread crumbs, egg, herbs, salt, and pepper.
Mix with hands until blended.
Shape into 4 burgers and coat lightly with the flour.
Heat oil in a large pan over medium heat and fry those babies.
Fry, or grill the burgers for 7 to 10 minutes on each side, or until cooked to desired doneness. Serve in toasted buns.

This recipe took me about 10 minutes to prepare, and all the ingredients are on-hand, or very cheap at the supermarket. I like to serve it with some mushrooms fried in some butter, cheese, lettuce, tomato, pickle, and some tomato sauce and mustard. YUM!

If you want to make them really really special, get some white castello cheese and take a small cube of it and squeeze it into the middle of the burger when you are making them. As it cooks the cheese melts and it is absolutely delicious! I didn’t have any white castello on hand so I just added some cheddar and it worked just as well.
