Mince?

I don't know if you've tried them but homemade burgers are lovely and freeze well, if there's an offer on fresh mince I'll usually get a load and make spicy beef, ordinary beef, chilli and corriander beef, lamb with mint and rosemary, pork with sage and garlic. Whatever you fancy bunging in.
Basic recipe is 500 g mince, few handfulls of fresh breadcrumbs, one egg, use soy sauce instead of salt (supposed to help prevent the burger breaking up) & freshly ground pepper. More often than not I'll add some worcestershire sauce, I think it flavours the burger nicely. Add whatever herbs or spices you fancy, mix it well (remember you can always add more but not take away) sometimes may need a few more breadcrumbs.
Then cook a little piece of the mixture, less than a mouthfull. Use this to judge if it tastes good or needs a little more something. If it's fine then make into burger shapes, always cook them from chilled and if you freeze them remember to freeze them with something separating them otherwise you end up with a huge chunk of meat you can't separate (been there, done that
