Homemade beef burgers recipe

• 400 g (14.1oz) really good quality beef mince
• 0.5 onion, diced very finely
• 0.5 slice brown bread
• 1 pinch salt and pepper
• 1 egg
• 4 burger buns

1. Blitz the bread in a blender to make breadcrumbs.
2. Set aside.
3. Put the mince and diced onion in a bowl, and crack the egg on top.
4. Work the egg into the mix with your hands, aiming to distribute the onion evenly through the meat.
5. Add the breadcrumbs a bit at a time so you can tell if there's a little too much.
6. If you think your mixture is going to become too dry with more, just stop adding it.
7. When the mixture is a good consistency and sticks together well, season your mixture with plenty of salt and pepper (plus whatever else you fancy) and work it in.
8. Roll up four little balls of meat mixture.
9. They should be about the same size as each other.
10. Between your palms, work each ball into a flat patty.
11. Double-check that they're roughly the same size again, and make adjustments if not; otherwise they'll finish cooking at different times.
12. Under a grill set to high, cook the patties on a lightly greased oven tray for between 10-15 minutes, turning once in the middle of cooking.
13. Place each patty in a bun and serve.
