SMALL HAMBURGERS RECIPES

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Cover a baking sheet with aluminum foil and spray with cooking spray.
• Mix together the ground beef and onion soup mix in a large skillet; cook and stir over medium-high heat until the beef is crumbly, evenly browned, and no longer pink. Drain and discard any excess grease. Remove from heat. Stir the mayonnaise and Cheddar cheese into the ground beef mixture.
• Lay the bottoms of the dinner rolls on the prepared baking sheet. Spread the cheese and beef mixture on the bottom half of each roll. Replace the tops. Cover with another sheet of aluminum foil sprayed with cooking spray.
• Bake in the preheated oven until the burgers are heated through and cheese melts, about 30 minutes. Serve with sliced pickles.

Steps:

• 1. Preheat the oven to 220ºC/425ºF/gas 7. Lightly grease a baking tray with oil and set aside.
  2. Pop the crackers into a sandwich bag, press out the air and seal. Get the kids to gently bash the crackers with a rolling pin until they become fine crumbs, then tip them into a mixing bowl.
  3. Using a box grater, coarsely grate the onion and Parmesan, then add them both to the bowl. Pick, finely chop and add the parsley leaves.
  4. In a bowl, the kids can beat the egg with a fork, then add it to the main mixture. Tip in the mince, and season with black pepper. With clean hands, get the kids to mix everything together.
  5. Divide the mixture in half, divide each half into 4 equal-sized pieces then, with wet hands, pat and roll each piece into a burger, roughly 2cm thick.
  6. Place the burgers onto the oiled tray, pat with a little oil, cover with clingfilm and chill in the fridge for about 30 minutes.
  7. Meanwhile, help the kids make their toppings. If you’re using bacon, pop it under the grill for 5 to 6 minutes, turning halfway, until crispy, and drain on kitchen paper.
  8. Discard the outer leaves of the lettuce, then pick, wash and dry the inner leaves. Slice the tomatoes and finely slice the onion.
  9. Cut around the avocado lengthways. Kids can hold the avocado and twist to pull the halves apart. Remove the stone and scoop the flesh away from the skin, then cut into slices.
  10. Under supervision, little ones can grate the Cheddar with a box grater.
  11. Have the kids use oven gloves to place the tray of burgers in the oven for 15 minutes, or until cooked through.
  12. Help the kids cut the burger buns in half, pop them on a baking tray and warm in the oven for 2 to 3 minutes.
  13. Use a fish slice to place each burger onto a bun half. Add your toppings, finish with a bun half, and serve with salad or potato wedges.
