AUSSIE BURGER

To cook the perfect Aussie burger patties, combine 500g of lean beef mince with finely chopped onion, an egg, breadcrumbs, tomato sauce, steak seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix well and shape into patties. Cook them on medium heat for 3-4 minutes on each side until browned and cooked through. For added flavor, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty during the last minute of cooking.

If you're looking for dietary substitutions for the Aussie burger, you can use ground turkey or chicken instead of beef for a leaner option. For a vegetarian version, try using black bean or chickpea patties. You can also replace the egg with a flaxseed meal or chia seed mixture for a vegan option. Additionally, gluten-free breadcrumbs can be used to make the recipe gluten-free.

To store leftover Aussie burgers, allow them to cool completely, then place the patties in an airtight container. They can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. If you want to keep them longer, you can freeze the cooked patties for up to 3 months. Just make sure to wrap them tightly in plastic wrap or aluminum foil before placing them in a freezer-safe bag.

Aussie burgers pair well with a variety of sides for a complete meal. Consider serving them with crispy sweet potato fries, a fresh garden salad, or coleslaw for a crunchy texture. You can also add grilled corn on the cob or a side of baked beans for a hearty addition. Don't forget to offer extra tomato sauce for dipping!

Yes, you can make the Aussie burger patties ahead of time! Prepare the patties as instructed, then store them in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours before cooking. Alternatively, you can freeze the uncooked patties by placing them on a baking sheet to freeze individually, then transferring them to a freezer bag. This way, you can cook them straight from frozen when you're ready to enjoy your burgers.
