Method
1. Place all ingredients in a large mixing bowl and use wet hands to combine and squash cream cheese into mince. Don’t overmix as it works well to keep small lumps of cream cheese throughout mixture. 2. Shape 45g size balls of mixture into burgers and put on a plate. 3. Heat frypan with preferred shortening and add burgers to pan. 4. Cook until browned and firm on one side then flip and continue to cook other side until golden brown. (Cheese option - place half a slice of tasty cheese on top of each burger and cover with frypan lid to melt in pan or alternatively microwave burger for 30 seconds to melt cheese). 5. Remove from heat and serve.
