'Bene' Burgers

Today I made Bene Burgers. I got this recipe off Health Bent and it was supposed to be done with Chorizo sausages but do you think I could find any in this lovely small town? No. So I used mild Italian sausages hence the name 'Bene' meaning good in Italian.

These burgers were amazing! Mouth watering and I just wanted to keep going back for more! They were hard to eat as you couldn't hold them together with the typical modernised grainy burger so I just used a knife and fork and cut it up into bite sized pieces.

INGREDIENTS
  • 500g mince beef
  • 500g Italian sausage (casing removed)
  • 2 onions (thinly sliced)
  • 6-8 eggs (I used 6)
  • 2 tomatoes (sliced)
  • 2  avocadoes (sliced)
  • 1 lime (sliced into wedges)
  • 6-8 sliced melted cheese (I skipped this one)
  • Salt & Pepper

METHOD
  • Preheat oven to 204C/400F
  • In a large bowl combine beef and sausage
  • Mix well. Patty meat into as many burgers as you like. I made 11 small ones
  • Place burgers on pan and salt and pepper them
  • Bake for 10mins add cheese if you like and then bake until they are ready. This changes depending on how big you made your burgers. I had mine in the oven for a total of 30mins
  • Over a medium-low heat saute onions until they develop a nice caramel colour. This took around 15mins-20mins!
  • Once the burgers are out and cooling off, fry an egg to your liking in the same pan you used for the onion. I did mine sunny side up so the yolk spilt over the burger as I ate it.. YUM YUM!
  • Serve topped with sliced tomatoes, avocado, a squeeze of lime juice and a fried egg
Enjoy!

I did a workout today which I got from Mark's Daily Apple. I wanted to do a sprint workout but I am not too keen on training outside in the -20C weather so I found a Stair Workout that looked like trying out.
I did this workout using two flights of stairs.
