It’s Mad Monday again! The first Monday of every month where I share with you a recipe that is very quick, but also is popular and a great family meal.
Now summer is around the corner we often have hamburgers on the bbq. This is a really great hamburger mix to throw together quickly.
Make sure you make my bacon jam though to go with it! Absolutely delicious!

Notes
Mincing Meat:
I personally use round or rump steak to mince. I cut it into chunks and remove fat and sinew. It is important to remove all sinew where possible, as it does not mince at all well.
Meat is easier to mince when it is partially frozen. However it still works if you are not organised enough to have it partially frozen.
I mince 250g of meat at a time.
To mince the meat press the Turbo button for 1 second twice. Depending on the consistency you like you can do it for 3 or 4 times for 1 second each.

I have lots of YIAH that really needs using up so instead of using the French onion dip I used some of my spice mix. They were delicious. N were gobbled up by the family. Oh n every day feels like mad Monday around here!
thermofun says
Thanks Jen - great way to use up some spices!
Darra says
Yummy! And easy to sneak veg in. I snuck in blitzed asparagus ends, baby spinach, mushrooms, and bok choy. Sshhh don't tell and they'll never know it's healthy!
thermofun says
Thanks Darra - I promise your secret is safe with me! :)
Deb C says
Perfect Burgers! And some left over and frozen for another night :)
thermofun says
Awesome Deb! It's always fabulous to have left overs! :)
Marion says
delicious. I minced some bacon and a carrot with the onions. Very good addition and easily forms into meat patties, something I have always had problems with.
thermofun says
Thank you Marion - so pleased you had success! :)
Jane says
Hubby, son and his mate requested these Hamburgers for supper. Served with ThermoFun Bacon Jam. Delicicious!
thermofun says
oh yes adding my bacon jam to it certainly does make it extra delicious! :)
Darra says
I used gluten free bread for the bread crumbs. I also added some grated carrot and baby spinach (put in at the same time as the onion so that it was chopped fine enough to be hidden). I didn't have enough French onion mix, so I used a combination of the leftover French onion, and some thermoFun Greek seasoning. Very nice. I ate it with some sweet chilli chutney and Greek yoghurt.
thermofun says
Love hearing all your tweaks Darra. :)
Deb says
These are awesome, although we used the Morroccan seasoning as we cant get enough of that stuff! I also love that I can freeze a batch for an even madder monday! :)
thermofun says
Oh what an awesome idea Deb! Madder Mondays :) Does that involve wine and chocolate?
Tara Townsend says
Whipped up a batch of these tonight with a batch of bacon jam and some bread rolls.
What a fantastic easy Sunday night dinner.
Raelene says
This is a standard family fav here.. just so quick and easy. Even tastier with the Bacon (or Tomato) Jam and freshly made mayo. A sure fire way we can get "proper meat" into the kids. Thanks again for an awesome recipe :-)
thermofun says
Thanks Raelene. We love the burgers too with the bacon or tomato jam! :)
Tania says
Made these burgers for the troops...I mean visitors we have staying at the moment. So easy, but makes a very very tasty burger. I think this recipe would be good to use as small meatballs as part of a party food table spread too. Thanks!
thermofun says
Great idea Tania re the meatballs! :)
Judy says
No idea why it's taken me a WHOLE YEAR to mince my own meat, but I followed your burger recipe to make chicken burgers which we had with your amazing bacon jam. Yum, yum, yum! Thanks, Leonie! xx
