This super versatile burger mix uses a few little dairy tricks to make it extra delicious and juicy. Use it to make burgers, or meatballs, which can be meal prepped in bulk and frozen raw for quick mid-week meals!
Ingredients
Burger Mix
2 slices wholemeal/grain bread, crusts removed¼ cup milk
500g lean beef mince
1 carrot, grated
½ onion, peeled and grated
1/4 cup finely grated parmesan
2 tablespoons chopped flat leaf parsley
1 egg
To serve
Burger buns, your favourite salad ingredients, sliced cheddar cheese and relish
Handy Tips
Soaking bread in milk is an Italian technique used to make juicy meatballs and meatloaves and it’s a great alternative to making fresh breadcrumbs! We love how the addition of parmesan cheese in burger patties, meatballs or other mince dishes adds extra flavour.
If you're meal prepping and freezing burgers or meatballs, thaw them in the fridge before cooking, or air fry from frozen, ensuring you test the internal temperature to ensure they are cooked through.
Method
- Place bread and milk in a large bowl and soak for 5 minutes until soggy. Mash with a fork.
- Add all the other burger ingredients to the bowl and season with salt and pepper. Using clean hand hands, mix the ingredients together thoroughly until well combined and the mixture holds together. Shape the mixture into 4 large or 8 small burger patties.
- BBQ, panfry or airfry the burger patties, turning until cooked through. Serve on burger buns, with salad, cheese and relish, or with your favourite side salad.
