Instructions

Instructions and steps: 

Step 1 In a large bowl, combine beans, mince, spring onions, breadcrumbs and egg. Using your hands, shape mixture into four 1.5cm-thick patties. Refrigerate, covered, for 15 minutes to firm.

Step 2 Spray a non-stick frying pan with oil. Over a medium-high heat, cook patties for 4-5 minutes each side, or until just cooked through. Remove and keep warm. Spray pan with more oil and cook red onion for 2 minutes each side.

Step 3 Place lettuce and sliced beetroot on the base of each bun. Serve topped with a patty, onion rings and a spoonful of salsa.

Variations

Make it meat-free: Omit beef mince and use 2 cups of mashed pumpkin instead. Adjust the amount of breadcrumbs accordingly.

HFG Tip

Double pattie recipe and freeze extras to use later in the week or in other meals. Simply defrost, cook and serve.
