Whether you’re looking for a great pork mince recipe or something different to do with your beef mince, these homemade burgers are the perfect recipe to try this week. Delicious and easy, they’re a great way to feed a crowd and can be easily cooked on the barbecue or in the pan and oven.
Pork, sage and onion is a classic flavour combination and works so well in burger form. Adding wholegrain mustard gives these burgers that extra depth of flavour too.
For the beef burgers, red onion, garlic and oregano create a wonderful mix of flavours that really come out on the barbecue. Adding in some chunks of Gorgonzoa cheese to the mix adds an extra special level of taste too.
This burger recipe makes enough burgers for eight people, so it’s a great one to try next time you’re having friends over for a barbecue.
