SPECIAL COOKING EQUIPMENT

PREPARATION
Peel and finely chop the onion
Chop the sun dried tomatoes
Cut the rolls in half and lightly toast the cut side

Method

Mix all the main ingredients in a bowl. By far the best way to do this is with your hands.

Divide the mixture into four and form each into a burger shape. Pat them well to prevent them falling apart when cooked. Ideally, put them in the fridge for an hour before cooking but this is not essential.

Raw beefburgers

Preheat the grill to medium / hot. These burgers are also great for barbecue cooking.

Grill for around 5 to 8 minutes on each side depending on how well done you like your beef.

Turn the grill up to high two minutes before the beef burgers are cooked, add a slice of cheese topped with a very light dusting of cayenne pepper onto the burgers. Put them  back under the grill for the remaining two minutes.
Beef burger Mix the tomato ketchup and mustard well, and top each burger with a teaspoon of the mixture.

Finally, top the burger with a slice of lettuce, and place it in the cut roll. Eat immediately. Salad or a serving of baked beans are great accompaniments.

Simplicity itself, very pleasing recipe, thank you.

I think ALL home made burgers are far better than ANYTHING you can shop buy, but my tip is to always use minced steak, not minced beef. Just tastes so much better.
