Everyone loves a great burger, but it frustrates me when people use frozen. I understand you may not have the time, at least buy fresh. If you want a really good burger, then create your own. This is my Beef Burger recipes, you can create your own using mine as a template.

• 1 Tbsp Basil
• 1 Tbsp Marjoram
• 1 Tbsp Ground Black Pepper
• 1 Tbsp Chilli Flakes
• 100g Breadcrumbs
• 1 Egg
• Dash of Tabasco Sauce

 

 

Method:

Jamie's Chili Con Carne (Hot)

Jamie's Chili Con Carne

So, for years I have been a keen fanatic of spicy food. I had always liked the idea of Chilli, but didn't like beans, so this is my interpretation of Chilli Con Carne.

Ingredients

• 3 Tbsp Hot Chilli Powder
• 1 Tbsp Cayenne Pepper
• 1/2 Tsp Ground Cumin
• 1/4 Tsp Ground Turmeric 
• 1 Tbsp Ground Garlic
• 1 Tbsp Onion Powder

• 1 Tbsp Oregano
• 2 Tbsp Smoked Paprika
• 600 ML Beef Stock (I use 6 Oxo Cubes if I don't have fresh)
• 200 ML Barbecue Sauce (Your Favourite type)
• 4-6 Tbsp Bisto Gravy Granules (For Thickening w/ flavour)
