Beef Burger Patties

When you have meat eaters in the home, you tend to stock up meat in the freezer.  I would normally make beef patties and freeze them , so that whenever I am late home, I can just dump  them in the oven and by the time I am out of the bathroom, the patties are ready for Wild Boar to eat with his dinner :p   Baked ones are not oily and so much healthier .  Less washing too :)   Read on to see how I prepared them in advance for rainy days :p

mix all the ingredients together till mixture is sticky...

chill it in the fridge for at least an hour before shaping them

into patties size or  burger size

this tasty beef patty is packed with 

roasted bell peppers ,onions, black pepper, garlic

with 3 days old white bread to keep it moist and juicy

you can make in advance and freeze them ....you can keep them

in the freezer for two weeks

stack them up with plastic liner in between each patty

so that it won't stick together 

you can coat the patties with  flour mixture 

( potato flakes ,baking powder,flour mixture )

before putting them to bake in the oven 

dust off extra flour - I forgot, which is 

why you see patches of white on the patties after baking :p )

my grill pan with detachable rack is so useful for this kind of baking

when you want your patties to have a crispy crust :)

smell so good....love baking them in oven...save time and oil free

this is so delicious that I could not resist a piece myself :p
