Ingredients
- 2 tablespoon oil
- ½ medium brown onion finely chopped
- 2 cloves of garlic crushed (I used it from a jar)
- 400 g 14oz beef mince (I only used 300g-11oz)
- ⅓ cup packaged dried breadcrumbs
- 1 egg lightly beaten
- 2 tablespoon finely chopped flat-leaf parsley
- 4 bacon rashers rind removed, halved lengthwise (I used pancetta as I didn't have any bacon)
- I also added finely chopped mushrooms and carrot to make up the 100g 3 ½ oz of mince I missed out (this reduces the calories)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 180C (360F) degrees fan-forced and line a baking tray with baking paper.
- Heat 2 teaspoon of oil in a large frying pan over moderate heat. Add onion and garlic and cook, stirring, for about five minutes then remove it to cool.
- Combine mince, breadcrumbs, egg, parsley and onion mixture (and mushrooms and carrots if you're using them). Season with salt and pepper. Shape mixture into 8 patties and wrap bacon pieces around them.
- Heat the remaining oil in the same pan and cook patties, seam side down for 4 minutes each side or until browned. Transfer to prepared tray and bake for about 5 minutes.
Serve with whatever you like. We had wedges and corn with ours. The patties were definitely the star of the show.
