Im sure I heard on here someone suggesting burgers are a good source of beef?

They also mentioned lean burgers, this might be a stupid question , but..
are all burgers 'lean' or whatever? I mean like from my local farm shop will they be all of high meat quality or is it specially labelled as lean beef burgers?
(I hope thats understandable)

All burgers are not lean, i eat 90/10 burgers fairly often but i only buy organic meat so imo its a fine source of meat as its just ground beef made into a patty.
Even things like mac donald burgers are spoken highly of by many top bbs Dave Palumbo is one example.

so do you make your own? like buy mince and make into burgers?

Get some lean mince add some diced fried red onion, cumin, ground coriander, ground cinamon, and egg to bind and some djon mustard and shape into patties then leave in the fridge for 2-3 hours to firm up.

i might actually try that, it sounds like a lot but the flavours would be good! no probs on a 'bulk' diet

No problem on a cutting diet either you can get beef with as little fat as chicken if you purchase carefully.

burger is a form or prepping and cooking meat
chips are a form of prepping and cooking spuds

grass fed cows are good, re constituted, fat laden waste is not
fibre spar5e processed chips from veg oil are not good, sweet spu chips in olive oil are

9 out of 10 burgers from a supermarket of take away are going to be shyte, dont let that put you off making your own with herbs, good cuts of meat which have been cooked in a suitable fashion

I try to make my own with lean steak mince and grill them they are much better tasting when you make them yourself

just remember to keep the mix chilled to help em stick into patties!

I converted the girlfriend into a burger eater with my home-made ones, and when you're buying the steak mince from the butchers and use all fresh ingredients they're delicious and really filling.

bit of grated cheese on top, lettuce and tomato

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

I have been eating home made burgers now almost daily! Surely beats the hell out of eating plain mince beef with red onions lol.

Glad you mentioned adding cinnamon Robdog, it goes really well with minced beef.
