▸ 2 garlic cloves, chopped

▸ 5ml (1t) mixed dried herbs

▸ 500g lean mince

▸ 15ml (1T) barbecue spice mix

▸ 1 onion, peeled and thinly sliced

▸ pickle slices (optional)

▸ 200g bacon strips, fried until crispy

1 Patties Heat the oil in a pan and fry the onion until soft. Add the garlic and fry until fragrant, then stir in the herbs. Remove from heat and allow to cool.

2 Place the mince in a deep mixing bowl and add the onion mixture. Add the barbecue spice, pepper, egg and Weet-Bix and mix well (using your hands works best). Refrigerate the mixture for at least 30 minutes.

3 Remove the mixture from the fridge, give it a good stir, then divide into 8 portions. Roll each portion into a meatball and place on a plate. Refrigerate for another 15 minutes.

4 Burgers Heat a large pan and drizzle some oil in it-tilt the pan so the entire surface is covered. Place 3-4 meatballs in the pan and flatten each with a spatula to form a patty.

5 Fry for a few minutes then carefully turn each patty and fry until golden brown on both sides and cooked to your liking.
