Classic beef burger
Background
If you want a simple, reliable burger recipe, do try this one! This classic beef burger is an English version which is slightly spicy and incredibly tasty. Also, it takes very little effort to prepare the patties. I must say, this is THE dependable burger recipe that I always use when I don't want to try out anything new, or I want to cook something I know is delicious.

Instructions
