For five people (quantities for ten are given below)
900g lean minced beef
salt and black pepper
1 small onion, finely chopped
1 garlic clove, peeled and finely chopped
1 medium-sized red or green pepper, seeded and finely chopped
½ tsp dried thyme
3 - 4 tbsp vegetable oil
2 x 400g tins of baked beans
5 burger buns
prepared mustard, mayonnaise or other accompaniments
about 1 small head of iceberg lettuce, divided into about 2 leaves per burger
3 medium-sized tomatoes, sliced
Method
1. Season the minced beef with salt and pepper and, with your hands, mix in the finely chopped onion, garlic, the red or green pepper and the thyme. Form the mixture into five equal balls then flatten them into patties.
2. Heat the oil in a large frying pan over medium-low heat, add the patties and cook on both sides until the meat is cooked as rare or as done as you like.
3. Meanwhile, warm the beans through until they are piping hot then put them aside to keep hot.
4. Toast or grill the burger buns on each side. Serve the burgers with the accompaniments, lettuce leaves and tomato slices accompanied by the hot baked beans.
