Mini Beef Burgers with Hand Cut Chips

Back in August I had the exciting opportunity to come up with a few recipes for Belmont Forum. I headed along to their shopping complex and made a bee line for the fresh food precinct. They have a really solid selection of fresh fruit and vegies, lovely freshly baked bread, all your poultry needs sorted at Leonards and all your other meats on offer at the butcher. Was definitely overwhelmed with the recipe possibilities! But I decided to stick with a favourite and somewhat of a crowd pleaser with Mini Beef Burgers with Hand Cut Chips.

The recipe cards were available in store for a few weeks but in case you missed them and given that the AFL Grand Final is on this Saturday I had wanted to post this recipe now because I thought it could be a good lunch option if you are having a grand final get together 🙂 Enjoy!
