  2. In a large bowl add mince, crack egg discarding shell, breadcrumbs and crushed garlic. Mix to combine with clean hands.

  8. Assemble each hamburger on individual plates. On bottom half of bread roll add pattie, tomato sauce, 1-2 tablespoons of onion, 2 slices of beetroot, 2 slices of tomato, lettuce and finish with top of bread roll. Repeat for all hamburgers and serve.
