Ingredients
- 1 slice white bread, crusts removed
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 500g beef or lamb mince
- 1 carrot, peeled and grated

- ¼ cup tomato sauce
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon American or French mustard

Method
- Soak bread in milk in a large bowl and crumble with your fingers. Mix in all other ingredients except oil together and form into 4-6 patties with wetted hands. Heat oil in a large non-stick frying pan and cook patties, covered, for 5 minutes or until golden brown on underside. Turn over and cook, covered, for a further 3 minutes until cooked through. Alternatively, cook on a chargrill pan or bbq, using a piece of foil to cover if needed.

Tips
- Use a burger patty mould to press into even sized patties.
- Uncooked beef patties freeze well. Open freeze on a baking paper lined plate until fully frozen, then pack into freezer bags for up to 3 months.
- STYLING Spread bun base with sauce, place lettuce on top, then a burger, cheese, tomato, pickle and dollop of sauce. Place bun top leaning on the side.
