Mc Mummys Burgers

The mint had overtaken my herb garden...and so began the discovery of my children's favourite meal. It is a simple rustic recipe, which makes my life easier.

• Ready In: 27 mins
• Serves: 4

Ingredients

• burger patties

• 500  g lean ground beef
• 1⁄2 cup  chopped of fresh mint (the more the merrier)
• 1  pinch salt
• 1  pinch pepper
• 1  tablespoon  oil, for cooking

• burger fillings

• 4  fresh  hamburger buns
• 4  leaves lettuce
• 1  ripe tomatoes, sliced
• 4  cheese slices
• 4  tablespoons  ranch dressing
• 4  tablespoons tomato sauce
•  pineapple, slices (optional)
•  fried egg (optional)
•  beetroot, slices (optional)

Directions

1. Mix all burger patty ingredients together well.
2. Use hands to divide the mixture into 4 round flat spotty green patties.
3. Heat a frypan on medium heat and brush with oil.
4. Cook the patties about 4 minutes on each side (or longer if required).
5. (Once you have flipped the patty once, start preparing the burger bun by toasting the top and bottom halves of burger bun under the grill) When burger patties are cooked place a cheese slice on each, and remove the frypan from heat.
6. (cheese will melt slightly while you prepare the buns) Place bottom half of the toasted burger bun on each dinner plate and top with ranch dressing, lettuce and tomato.
7. Then add burger patty and tomato sauce and top with the bun lids.
8. Serve immediately.
