A Simple Beef Burger

I have always wondered why burgers at Fast Food chains are so popular. When I was in their trap previously, I like the juicy, fatty quick fix...but now, I just can't stomach the oil from burgers in Fast food joints any longer..

and GASP..I have sort of become a fast food snob.



Not that I'm turning my back against them, I have my rare occasion Golden arch lean beef burger and just couldn't resist that ONE more fry that magically appear in front of me. But overall, most people would say that their burgers aren't always the best.

Not that mine is that great either. I just somehow feel better chewing a burger that I know exactly what goes in there.



A Simple Beef Burger (for 4)
300 grams lean beef mince
1/2 red onion chopped finely
2 cloves of garlic minced
1 chilli finely chopped
2 tsp of corn flour
1 egg
1 tsp of chilli powder
1 tsp of cumin
1/2 cup of spicy bread crumbs
1 tsp of mixed spice
seasoning.

1) Marinate lean beef mince with everything listed. Shape into patties and fry it (no oil).

2) Cut a bread roll into half and toast it. Assemble with your favourite real cheddar cheese (not the fake kraft type!) and tomato sauce. Serve with salad and potato wedges.
