Burgers

I found some mince in the supermarket in the reduced bit so decided to make some burgers for us all on Friday. I prefer to make my own burgers as I'm a fussy eater and like to know what has gone into them. I can't post a proper recipe as my scales have decided to conk out on me so I will just list what goes into them for now

450g mince (I prefer steak mince if it is available)
Bread crumbs *
2 tbsp Parmesan cheese finely grated
1 egg
1 tsp Smoked paprika
Salt and pepper

* I use the crusts of bread that the boys don't like eating, whizz them up and freeze them in a bag so I can use as much as I need for chicken nuggets, burgers or meatballs.

I mix the bread crumbs, cheese, paprika, salt and pepper together then pop that into a bowl with the mince then I crack and egg on top and mix it all up with my hands and finally shape into burgers using my burger squasher but you could just use your hands.
 
I got 6 burgers out of this so I used 4 for our dinner and popped the rest into the freezer for another day. We had the burgers with wedges and corn on the cob.

Hello

I have attempted to start blogging a few times now since 2011 but I've never really got into the swing of it properly, I love reading all sorts of blogs so I have decided I'm going to have a proper try this year.
 
I'm not to sure what this blog will be about but I will start off with a little about me, I'm 32 from Suffolk and a single Mummy to two boys W 9 and T 7, I love days out, cooking, crochet, skincare and makeup.
