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

  7. Prepare bread rolls by slicing in half and placing on a baking tray. Place in oven for 5 minutes. Remove.
  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.
