Big Homemade Beef Burgers with Sweetcorn Relish

My large family say there is nothing to beat home made  Beef Burgers with a homemade sweetcorn relish. These filling tasty burgers are low in fat and are far superior to shop bought burgers. Serve them up on a Sunday night as a snack in front of the TV or a main meal on a weekday! All my ingredients are sourced from my supermarket Tesco but you use a supermarket near to your home or a market if you have one.

Ingredients for a Family of 6 providing 2 burgers each (Adjust your portion sizes to suit your family)


1 pack 3 onions = £1.00
12 Burger Buns = 2 packs of 6 for £1.00
750gr Value Minced Beef = £2.75
For the relish
2 Corn on the Cob = £1.70
1 lime = 30p
60 gr or 2 Red Chillis = 60p
50 grams from 1 slab of Everyday Value Butter =98p
2 tablespoons Veg/Sunflower Oil
salt and pepper

Optional
1 pack Everyday Value Cheese Slices = 90p
1 family pack golden frozen french fries = £1.30
Mixed Salad

Method

Peel Cut and dice the 3 onions up. Put the oil in a frying pan and throw in the onions for about 5 minutes. Then remove the onions and put in a bowl on one side. Place the beef mince, a touch of salt and pepper into a large bowl and mix together thoroughly. Add the onions.

Now to divide equally into 12 portions. (Adjust portions for family size). Mould into a burger shape with clean hands. When you have finished line up the burgers on a plate to one side for now.

For the relish get a large pan of water and bring to the boil on the hob/stove. Add the corn on the cob for 10 minutes then remove and drain well. Remove the actual corn from the cob and place into a medium sized bowl. Finely chop the chillis, add to the bowl with the butter until the butter melts. Slice the lime and squeeze the juice into the bowl and mix well. Put the relish to one side.

Back to the burgers and put 1 tablespoon oil into a frying pan. Take each burger in turn and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side and then put into the sliced burger buns.

Tip: You can add a cheese slice topping for family members who like cheeseburgers or add some mixed salad as a topping. Bulk out further with some french fries if required.
