Cheese Burgers

Serving Size:

10 large burgers

Ingredients:

• 2 pounds ground beef
• 1/2 cup cornflake crumbs
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• 2 tablespoons pesto
• 2 eggs
• 1 carrot, finely grated
• 10 slices cheese
• 4 ounces mixed lettuce leaves
• 10 hamburger buns

Method:

Place beef, cornflake crumbs, tomato paste, pesto, eggs and carrot in a bowl and mix well to combine.

If the mixture is a bit dry and not holding together, add a bit of cold water.

Divide mixture into 10 heaps and squish into hamburger shapes.

Heat a non-stick frying pan to a medium-high heat and cook burgers for about 5 minutes each side or until cooked through.

Slice buns in half, top with lettuce, then cheese, then burger and your sauce of choice.

Notes:

• Replace the cornflake crumbs with breadcrumbs if you prefer – the crumbs keep moisture in the hamburgers.
• Add a finely chopped onion if your family can cope with that!
