and blend some bread crumbs to make them less sloppy.

For ingredients add whatever you fancy - chopped carrots, cheese, apple, spices, herbs

My burger mix, sufficient for 2kg of normal mince:

Half an onion

An egg

Dash of rice wine or vodka or dry sherry

Dash of light soya sauce

Salt

Freshly ground black pepper

A few dried birds eye chillis

A pinch each of ground cumin, coriander, cinnamon, paprika

Garlic powder

Dried parsley

Blend the lot until smooth and gloopy

Mix into the mince beef until homogenous

Try an Aussie burger, it should be made as follows..... Bun, lettuce, burger, cheese, pineapple, egg, red onion, beetroot and bun!

You would be surprised how good egg an pineapple mix!

Heart attack central I must admit but if you want to make it healthier you can leave the pineapple out

"2kg "

I vacuum pack in singles or in twos before freezing them.

The most I have done was 8kg and make 85 burgers.

Made. In batches of 2kg so as to turn it round from fridge to freezer in less than 90min.

We do the same but add a little mustard, ketchup and brown sauce also bread crumbs as makes it stick together a bit better

Vacuum packs a good idea - mine always end up a bit sloppy after defrosting.

not bread crumbs you need some sort of rusk (not the baby food type) i use italian crackers finely ground (like brown flour

1 or 2 tablespoons of water season to taste 4 or 5 table spoons of rusk to 1kg of meat (home minced and passed through the mincer twice)don't forget if using fresh mince you need to add fat but not gristle (no fat means a dry burger) mix well then divide and shape into the size you want individually wrap in clingfilm and freeze the clingfilm means you can use em 1 at a time

Cook from frozen?

When I go camping, the burgers would be defrosted by the time I get to cook them.

I would slap them onto the BBQ, cook on one side until they shrink, then turn them only once with a spatula to cook the other side until done.

They seldom fall apart when I cook mine.

I use an American recipe - no breadcrumbs.

Use 500g beef mince. Grate a whole onion and two garlic cloves into a mixing bowl. Add the mince and 2 or 3 teaspoons of grain mustard, along with a good twist of salt and pepper. Mix it together, form into 4 or 6 patties, place onto greaseproof paper and put in the fridge for a couple of hours.

Then grill as per normal.

To top, slice an onion and fry in a little olive oil for a few minutes, then add a teaspoon of soft brown sugar to caramelise.

Fabulous when served in a toasted bun with cheese and ketchup.

They also freeze very well.

Enjoy.

Dave

Not a burger but an old recipe for gipsy toast.

First step is to steal a chicken and a loaf of bread.
