I always make this in 2 kg lots in a large pyrex bowl. When its mixed up and covered with wrap stick it on the top shelf of the fridge, It'll do for Friday night, breakfast Saturday & Lunch, after that you'll be bored with burgers so scrunch the mixture into little balls, fry them up & add a tin of tomatoes...you'll have meatballs.
You Will Need -
- 2 KG 'regular' mince (dont get lean, lite or 'heartsmart' it will lack flavor & dry out too fast)
- 3 large freerange eggs (unless you like paying people to torture animals)
- 1 large carrot
- 1 large spanish (purple) Onion
- Fresh Rosemary (about half a handful)
- Fresh Basil (about half a handful)
- Fresh Parsley [Not Italian] (about half a handful)
- Add as many of any kind of chilli you think you can cope with.
Method -
crack the 3 freerange eggs into a large mixing bowl, beat until a consistant color (dont make it frothy). Grate carrot on large grator column into eggs & stir with a fork until seperated & coated.
Lump mince into bowl,(DO NOT mix it in yet) on top put the coarsly diced Onion (if its chopped too fine it wont work for the egg, carrot, onion cement) and also on top now you put your chopped herbs & chillis.
now get your fingers into it and mix it up so that it looks consistent throughout.
Can BBQ, fry, bake, or grill.
My freference - On a fresh Bakers roll, Layer of Cos lettuce on the bottom, large bbq'd burger pattie, sliced vine tomatoes above that, then few slices of ripest chilli from the yard on top.
Enjoy
