Summer is on the way. Yay! But we aren’t quite there yet. Nay! To keep our spirits up, while we wait for the warmer climate to reach us, I like to make summery foods that we like a lot. Burgers always go down well in our house. I have made a few different types before but I have never made them with BBQ sauce in.
This was a first for us. It was so tasty and no need for extra sauce on the burger. Well only if you want too. I’m sure this won’t be a last for us or you either. We loved this dish and we hop you do too. What’s your favourite type of burger? Let me know in the comments below and please don’t forget to like and follow me. Below is video and recipe for you.
Equipment
- Chopping board
- Vegetable peeler
- Fine grater
- Large mixing bowl
- Tablespoon
- Baking tray
Ingredients
- Mince beef x 500g
- Carrot x 1
- Ground flax seed x 4 – 8 tbsps
- BBQ Sauce x 2 tbsp
- Salt and pepper to taste
Method
- Peel and grate the carrot.
- I like to use a fine grater for this task as it makes the burger very moist.
- Add the grated carrot to the bowl along with the mince beef.
- Next add the BBQ sauce, ground flax seed and salt and pepper.
- Dampen your hands under the tap.
- Using your hands, scrunch all the ingredients together.
- You may need to dampen your hands again during this process.
- Divide the mixture as evenly as possible into quarters.
- Grab a quarter and make a burger shape with your hands.
- Put the burger onto a plate and put a dimple in the middle of the burger.
- The dimple will stop the burger from rising too much when it’s cooking in the oven or on the grill.
- When all the burgers are made store in the fridge for at least two hours or overnight.
- Preheat the oven to 180ºC and add the tray at the same time.
- Once the oven has preheated carefully remove the tray from the oven and put the burgers in.
- The cold burgers will hit the hot baking tray and hopefully become juicy and tender.
- Let them cook for 25 – 30 minutes and remove once browned on the outside.
BBQ Beef Burgers was a yummy meal that we all enjoyed. These burgers were easy to prepare and cook. I made ours in advance of the meal. Then I stored them in the freezer. You could make a large batch of burgers. Then store them in the freezer. Take them out to defrost and cook when you need too. They also make tasty leftovers the next day as well. However you decide to eat these burgers. as always, please enjoy. Thank you xxx
