Nowadays lots of supermoms make their kids home made burgers instead of eating unhealthy burgers at fast food chains. And it’s a great thing to do, thumbs up to these supermoms! It’s not just the kids who love burgers, for we as adults also yearn for a delicious burger every once in a while. And since it’s home made, you can control how healthy the burger is (perhaps minus the fries?).

Here’s a super simple recipe to make home made burgers. The preparation will take you about 15 minutes whilst the grilling of the meat will take another 14 minutes. In just a half hour, you will have four good servings of a yummy burger set on the table or packed into lunchboxes with love!
