Ingredients

Ingredients

4 Bakers Delight Hi-Fibre Lo-GI Rolls
300gm mince beef
1 tbsp tomato paste
Breadcrumbs
1 egg
1 tbsp dried oregano
1 tbsp dried basil
Olive oil
1 cup lettuce – shredded
1 beetroot, sliced
1 carrot, grated

Method

    1. Step 1

      Mix the mince together with the tomato paste, oregano, basil and the egg. Add breadcrumbs, just enough to make sure the mixture is wet, but able to be shaped.

    2. Step 2

      Shape into small patties (the diameter should be slightly smaller than that of the bread roll)

    3. Step 3

      Heat a dash of olive oil in a heavy based frypan on a low to medium heat. Cook the patties, turning once until cooked through.

    4. Step 4

      Slice the bread rolls in half and top with the patty, lettuce, beetroot and carrot. For an extra flavour hit, smear some mustard on the top half of the roll.

    5. Step 5

      The perfect way to keep your energy up to make it through your exams!

FAQ’s

What should I serve with kids burgers?

For burger sides that are healthy for kids (and that they’ll actually eat), go for colour. Chopped red capsicum, shaved carrots, and baby peas are sweet sides to keep in mind for a balanced meal. Of course, chips are always a favourite with the kids, so a few thickly cut homemade fries on the side are a nice treat.

What is the secret to a good burger?

The secret to a good burger is in the ingredients, making sure that every ingredient is fresh – from the mince to the lettuce to the tasty roll or burger bun. Sauce is also important, so whether your fave is BBQ, tomato sauce, or mustard, make sure to spread it liberally.

What goes with burgers instead of fries?

If you want to get creative and ditch the fries, coleslaw is a tasty burger side to try. You could also service it with a pasta salad, macaroni, and cheesy baked potatoes. If you prefer something a little lighter, a simple side salad makes a healthy and fresh accompaniment.
