How to make it
Shape your mince into balls, then smash them flat on a hot pan for that crispy edge. Season well and melt cheese on top as they cook.
Toast your buns, layer with lettuce, tomato, and onion, then stack your juicy patties. Add your favourite sauce, pop the top bun on, and get ready for some messy, mouth-watering magic.

Mix mayo, yoghurt, lemon juice, and herbs for a creamy dressing. Combine and pile high into toasted sourdough buns with crisp lettuce.
Slow-Cooked Beef and Slaw Buns

- ½ cup BBQ sauce
- 2 cups coleslaw (ready-made or homemade with cabbage, carrots, and yoghurt-mayo dressing)
