 Hamburger with Beetroot Instructions:

1. Prepare the Patties: In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef (or chicken), chopped onion, garlic, egg, breadcrumbs, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper. Mix well and form 4 equal-sized patties.

2. Cook the Patties: Heat a pan or grill over medium heat and add olive oil. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes per side or until they are fully cooked and golden brown. Add a slice of cheese on top in the last minute of cooking so it melts slightly.

3. Toast the Buns: While the patties are cooking, lightly toast the burger buns for extra crunch and flavor.

4. Assemble the Burgers:

   • Spread mayonnaise on the bottom half of each bun.
   • Place a lettuce leaf and a slice of tomato on top.
   • Add the cooked patty with melted cheese.
   • Place a slice of beetroot on top of the patty.
   • Add red onion slices.
   • Spread tomato sauce (ketchup) and mustard on the top half of the bun.
   • Close the burger and press gently.

5. Serve and Enjoy! Serve your Hamburger with Beetroot with fries, potato wedges, or a fresh salad.
