- 1 large onion finely chopped

Skill Level: Super Easy
Cooks in: 30 Minutes
Step 1.
With your hands knead all ingredients into a bowl together and shape 4 or six burger patties of the thickness of your thumb and slightly larger than your bun.
Step 2.
Place onto the griddle or flat plate of your BBQ (medium-high heat) and cook for approximately three minutes on each side and turning it carefully with a scraper rather than tongs.
Step 3.
Check the cooking stages/temperatures where a beef or lamb burger is perfect when cooked medium to well and pork at medium well and chicken at well done.
Step 4.
When cooked remove from the heat to avoid overcooking which will result in dry and chewy burgers
Step 5.
Cut the buns in half and shortly before your burgers are ready toast the buns (first cut side down) on the BBQ on both sides and start assembling them
Step 6.
Top your burger with your favourite toppings like cheese, tomaotoes, beetroot, lettuce, mushrooms
