Big Burgers

Ingredients:


500g minced beef (or any minced meat of your choice)
1 thick slice of bread
1/2 onion
1 egg
4 tsp of cream cheese
pinch of mixed herbs
salt and pepper


Method:


Take 4 teaspoons of cream cheese out of its packaging now ready for later, do this now before you open your meat to avoid getting any of the uncooked meat near the remaining cream cheese in the packet, if you do will have to discard it rather use it for something else later.
Rub the bread between your fingertips until it is fine breadcrumbs and finely chop the onion and place in a mixing bowl with the minced meat, mixed herbs, salt and pepper.
Break the egg into the bowl then using your hands throroughly mix them all together until all the ingredients are mixed evenly throughout.
Divide the mixture into 8 equal size measures and flatten each them out into discs, in the centre of each disc make a slight indentation.
Place a teaspoon of the cream cheese into the indentation of 4 of these discs and then place the other disc over it with the indentation face down.
Pinch and blend the edges together so the join disappears.

Finished burgers ready to be cooked

Place cooked burgers in some kitchen roll to remove excess grease before serving.

Served with grated cheese and BBQ sauce in a tiger bread roll with wedges

Obviously you don't have to use cream cheese for the filling, you could use and other cheese, ketchup, BBQ sauce... anything you like really, you could even have no filling at all if you like.
