Beef and Salsa Burgers

Ingredients

  • 300g lean minced beef
  • 50g wholemeal breadcrumb
  • 50g carrot grated
  • 1 small onion grated
  • small handful parsley leaves chopped
  • 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 4 wholemeal burger buns
  • small pot tomato sauce

Method

  1. Set your grill to a medium setting. Combine the minced beef, breadcrumbs, grated carrot, grated onion, chopped parsley, and Worcestershire sauce in a large mixing bowl, seasoning the mixture thoroughly. Form the mix into four equal patties and arrange them on a baking tray.
  2. Cook the burgers under the grill for 3-4 minutes per side until they are fully cooked. Set them aside to keep warm. Halve the wholemeal buns and position them cut-side up under the grill to toast lightly for 1 minute. Assemble the burgers by placing salad in the toasted buns, adding a patty to each, and finishing with a generous spoonful of tomato sauce.
