Cheesy Beef Burgers

Put the minced beef into a large mixing bowl.

Add in the finely diced onion and garlic.

Mix in the breadcrumbs, cheese and chopped parsley together with the tomato ketchup/chilli jam.

Season the mixture with a little salt and pepper.

Add in the egg and mash the mixture together with your hands using the egg as a binding agent.

Divide the mixture into 6-7 pieces and using a little plain flour shape them into your desired shapes about ½ inch thick.

Allow to rest in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.

Heat a large frying pan with a little oil and then pan fry the burgers on either side until golden brown.

Transfer them to the oven and cook for 12-15 further minutes to make sure that they are well cooked through.

Cut one in the centre just to make sure as undercooked mince is a high risk product.

Serve with some toasted burger buns, chilli mayonnaise, lettuce leaves, sliced tomatoes, grilled bacon & sliced cheese.

Cajun Potato Wedges:

Preheat the oven to 180C/350F/Gas Mark 4

Wash some rooster potatoes and cut into chunky wedges.

Drizzle with a small amount of oil and some Cajun spice

For 4 large potatoes I would normally use a level teaspoon of spice.

Mix them all together in a bowl and place on a baking tray lined with parchment.

Bake for 30-35 minutes until crispy and well cooked through to the centre.
