Makes 6-8 Burgers
Hamburger recipe ingredients
- 500g mince beef
- 1 x small onion (diced)
- 1 x medium carrot (grated)
- 1 x egg
- 1 tsp cayenne pepper
- 1 tsp minced garlic
- 1 tsp olive oil
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 3 tbsp Corporal Freddie's Worcestershire Sauce
Three tablespoons per batch adds up. The Twin Refill (2 x 750ml) keeps you stocked.
How to make homemade hamburgers
- Mix all together with half the breadcrumbs
- Add remaining breadcrumbs
- Knead together till mixture is combined well
- Make into desired size hamburgers making sure you get the air out of them by passing each one between your hands a few times (we like them big enough to cover the hamburger roll but not too big that when you flatten them they will be bigger than the roll).
- Place burgers on a tray, cover and let them rest for at least 30 minutes in the fridge
- Heat oil in a non-stick pan or on grill on a medium heat
- Cook burgers to your preference
- Transfer cooked burgers to plate and continue to cook the remaining burgers
Make hamburgers with your favourite fillings and enjoy.
Why Freddie's Worcestershire works in hamburgers
Freddie's is thick and full of flavour, so three tablespoons in the mince seasons the whole patty. New to Freddie's? The Starter Bundle gets you a 250ml bottle for the table and a 750ml refill to keep it topped up.
Freddie's Top Tip
While the burgers are cooking, cut your buns in half and toast them until they're a light golden brown. Use the toaster, the air fryer or the barbecue, whatever's closest.

Use this same recipe to make sliders or meatballs, perfect for entertaining and when you feel like something a little different.
