No Hassle Burgers

No Hassle Burgers are my favourite. I used to live on fast food but was introduced to this recipe by my now wife and was converted. The preparation I often make in advance and just need to cook and assemble when ready. I like to add a little sliced chilli in the burger mixture for an extra hit. This recipe is flexible so if you want to add a new ingredient then it can handle it. Serve as main dish with all of the trimmings; one per person is always enough.
