Load of good mince
Load of coriander
Load of red chillis
Onion
Breadcrumbs
Egg
Mince in big bowl, very finely chop onion mix with mince, very finely chop chillis mix with mince, chop coriander add to mince. Handful of breadcrumbs, crack in an egg or two.
Fashion into burgers.
Then make your own buns as you just cant buy a quality tasty large format burger bun.
This would take you less time to make than driving to Tesco to buy burgers.

Thats a good recipe. Salt and cracked black pepper go in mine, corriander seems to work better when crushed rather than powdered. Load of coriander

heres the one I made last year (reposted for the millionth time)
That'll do! I always crush the seeds, cant stand the powdered stuff. Crushed corriander is best for hanging/drying beef (another hobby of mine HotTotty said:
Also try Venison and Lamb ones.
Jalapeno peppers diced in works well as does feta cheese.

One is partial to sauteed Jalapeno's.
Plotty, I heard on Saturday Kitchen the other day
, that onion shouldn't be used in the mix and only added after ? (can't remember why, might be sweat or something)
, but I guess you get what you pay for. 
Either way, the patties arent huge at 150g each. 
I tend to cook the onion in some olive oil until it softens a little before adding it to the burger mix. That way the meat binds more easily to the onion and I usually avoid needing to use an egg.
Also, dried chillies bashed up in a pestle and mortar are an easy way to give them a reliable degree of heat.
Try to avoid lean mince, as the lack of fat can make a dry burger once it's cooked.

Very good - try adding a (very) generous splash of Worcestershire Sauce for a certain piquancy.Load of coriander

Interesting the onions thing, not heard that before.
The handful of breadcrumbs is there to soak up some of the juices and keep the burger moist.
Was Worral-Thompson using breadcrumbs in his recipe?

I thought he said the onions had to be cooked before putting them in otherwise the onion taste would be the main taste of the burger as it's so strong compared to the others
