Surprise Beef Burger Patty For Kids

Today, I will be sharing with you my mom’s Surprise Beef Burger Patty that she used to homemade when I was much younger.

Honestly, this beefburger patty is 100% better and less calories compare to fast food restaurant beef burger patties!

It is perfectly juice inside and grilled the right texture and crisp on the outisde.

I love the charred texture while the butter fats drips down.

Now you can choose either readymade minced beef sold in the supermarket or purchase fresh lean beef in the wet market.

Use a food processor to mince the lean beef, at least you know that this minced beef are not left over beef from the market.

Now, if you are buying less tender beef parts, which means a mixture lean meat with fats is sold cheaper than total lean beef cuts.

SOme people prefers less tender beef cuts because the excess fats drip off when grilling the beef provide a juicy natural taste of grilled beef.

However, some may prefer lean beef cuts to reduce calories and fats, although it may produce a tougher texture.

Why did I added rolled oats?

Adding rolled oats into minced beef provide extra fibre and nutrients into the patty.

In addition, I had mixed in dried herbs for aromatic flavor, chopped onions easy digestion.

Nobody place a piece of cheese on top of the beef patty but I wanted to give the cheesy flavor in this recipe, really an awesome and aromatic beef patty that I should had made more batches of them.

If you are afraid that your kids may not be able to finish off the beef patty, try making smaller round balls , flatten them with a rolling pin for a flatter patty.

Keep the remainder of beef patties in the freezer for future use.

Making extra batches benefit you especially when your kids are asking for beef burger out of a sudden.

Always remember to provide some side dishes for your kids meal.

Consider salads, shreds of lettuce, carrots or mashed potato with mushroom gravy would be  a perfect wholesome meal for your kids
