    It should, though the mince is the most important bit, if you can get it venison makes kick ass burgers.

    when I make burgers, I just use fresh beef mince, squeeze it into burger shapes and fry it. Delicious. If its good quality mince i dont find it bland. In fact I hate all those extra seasonings in most burgers. So unnecessary
    Home made thick burger like that in a baguette with salad and mayonnaise. :yum:

    I put a little bit of lemongrass and a bit of fresh chilli into them, just to give the burgers a lift.

    well i made them, the recipe was good...just needed a bit more salt and pepper and the onions to be a little bigger. The hubby's cousin bought me a George Foreman so thankfully none fell apart. Let me know if any of you want the recipe.

    Flour will help bind it so it doesn't fall apart.

    When I make chickpea burgers, I like to use pepper and marjoram... But it really depends on waht taste you'd like.

    it might just be cause I love spice but stick a bit of peri peri sauce and a little bit of jerk seasoning in your burgers and they will be heavenly

    I often keep the uncooked burgers in the fridge for a while before cooking and they tend not to fall apart so much but if they're crumbling chuck another egg in there :)

    hmm I'm in the mood for a BBQ now - all I need is a garden... and a BBQ..

    eeek sorry i've been so busy, SCC here is the recipe i used and it made 4 nicely sized burgers.

    1/2 onion chopped
    2 cloves of garlic, minced
    2 tablespoons worcestershire sauce
    1/2 egg beaten
    1 tablespoon salt
    1/2 teaspoon pepper
    500g lean minced beef
    4 slices of mild cheedar (i like the ford farm one)
    4 rolls

    mix onions, garlic, worcestershire sauce, egg, salt and pepper in a bowl. Add beef and mix with your hands until evenly combined and then stick it on a hot George Foreman for about 5mins.

    Best way to make homemade burgers is either thinly slice chop steaks, or use put left over raost meat into a mincer with a few bread crusts.

    Add an egg, finely chopped onion, chopped fresh coriander chopper, chopped chili's and chopped garlic. Slat and plenty of pepper.

    Mix up in a bowl and make form into burgers.

    Another way is to just make steak tartare, mix in the egg and make burgers from it.
