Beef and Beetroot Burgers £1.80 / £0.90 per serving

Beef mince is one of the cheapest meats to buy in your local supermarket. When regular burgers, meatballs and Spaghetti Bolognese get boring, try this delicious twist on a burger. Make sure you buy the leanest possible beef mince - it's healthier and tastes better. For the breadcrumbs use any old slice of toast or bred you have leftover. No sense in buying breadcrumbs from the shop! And this is 1 of your 5-a-day...in a burger!

50 g breadcrumbs

1 onion, finely chopped

75 g pickeld beetroot, finely chopped

250 g lean beef mince

1 beaten egg

salt and black pepper

1 tbsp vegetable oil

1. Finely chop the onion and beetroot.
2. Mix all the ingredients in a bowl.
3. With your hands form the burger mixture into burgers the size of your palm.
4. Fry them on a hot frying pan with vegetable oil, until fully cooked.

Spice it up!

Add some finely chopped capers to the burger mixture to make it even tastier.
