Home-made Burger

Ingredients: *Minced meat - half a kilo
*1 tsp (salt, black pepper, garlic powder, paprika)
*1 tbsp (ketchub, mustard, soy sauce)
* 1 egg
* 1 onion
* 1 chili pepper - very important for the taste & won't be very hot when cooked
* 2-3 tbsp breadcrumbs
Steps: *mix all ingredients -except for meat & breadcrumbs- in the mixer or food processor till they are like puree
*add mixture to meat, mix well, then add breadcrumbs till meat is firm, yet soft (2 spoons are usually enough)
* form meat into balls then press to have burger slices
*you can freeze them at this point for use later or cook them right away
*to freeze them, i place them on a tray covered in plastic wrap, then freeze for a couple of hours, then put in a regular bag
*to cook the burgers, i brush my grill with olive oil, cook the burgers on medium heat, turning them only once
And the result is really amazing! Way much better than the frozen ones, and it's healthy & fresh :-)
