Mango and pork burgers

Average rating:

Making homemade burgers couldn't be easier. Kids and adults will love these moist, juicy burgers in a tasty salad-filled bun.

Prep time: 15 mins
Cooking time: 20 mins
Serves: 4
Skill level: Easy peasy

Ingredients

To cut costs, if you have some mint sauce in the cupboard use this instead of the fresh mint – add about 1tsp. Using defrosted frozen pork will also reduce the cost. If the mixture seems a little moist because of this, add a small handful of fresh breadcrumbs.
