Homemade hamburger held at a table with buns and condiments behind

We don't always wait for a big BBQ or event to have hamburgers at our place. We'll happily have them over a weekend for lunch or dinner, and with this easy recipe you can make enough to freeze a few for next time. Who doesn't love a bit of batch cooking!

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.
