1kg minced beef
300g breadcrumbs
140g extra-mature or mature cheddar
grated
4 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1 small bunch parsley
finely chopped
2 eggs
beaten

To serve

split burger buns
sliced tomatoes
red onion
slices
lettuce
tomato sauce, coleslaw, wedges or fries

Method

step 1
Crumble the mince in a large bowl, then tip in the breadcrumbs, cheese, Worcestershire sauce, parsley and eggs with 1 tsp ground pepper and 1-2 tsp salt. Mix with your hands to combine everything thoroughly.
step 2
Shape the mix into 12 burgers. Chill until ready to cook for up to 24 hrs. Or freeze for up to 3 months. Just stack between squares of baking parchment to stop the burgers sticking together, then wrap well. Defrost overnight in the fridge before cooking.
step 3
To cook the burgers, heat grill to high. Grill burgers for 6-8 mins on each side until cooked through. Meanwhile, warm as many buns as you need in a foil-covered tray below the grilling burgers. Let everyone assemble their own, served with their favourite accompaniments.
