A burger doesn’t have to be unhealthy, try my lean burger recipe all served up with Big Mac flavours in a bowl
If you’ve got a craving for a takeaway burger then try my Big Mac Bowl recipe instead. All the delicious tastes and flavours of a dirty burger but it’s actually quite healthy!
The burger is homemade using just lean minced beef, and egg and some seasoning.
For my portion I serve it in a bowl with lots of salad and a dollop of Leon Burger Sauce. I absolutely love this stuff. It adds so much flavour to the burgers.
For my husband and the kids I served the burgers in sesame buns with some lettuce, tomato and cheese.
