If there’s one meal I know my kids will eat it’s burgers. In fact I think my daughter would eat them every day for dinner given the chance! Making your own burgers at home might seem like a bit of a faff, but I have a really easy recipe to share today that your kids are sure to love.

This week I’m teaming with up Waitrose to create some really easy but delicious dinners using essential Waitrose ingredients, including these burgers and also these super tasty Lamb Koftas. All these ingredients have the quality you would expect from Waitrose at prices that you wouldn’t!

All of the ingredients (except for the fresh sage) used to make these burgers are from the essential Waitrose range, making this meal really affordable to serve up for a family dinner.

You might be surprised to see I used chicken thighs in this recipe but blitzed in the food processor they make a really tasty meat to form the basis of the burgers. In my opinion chicken thighs have more flavour than chicken breasts and of course they are more budget-friendly too.

Along with the burgers I made some really easy potato wedges using essential Waitrose baking potatoes. I always leave the skins on when making wedges, so they’re super easy to prepare and also a bit more nutritious too!

My daughter isn’t the biggest fan of chicken and will often complain when I serve her some kind of chicken for dinner. But she absolutely loved these burgers and gobbled a whole one down within minutes. Success!

Waitrose will be lowering hundreds of prices across the range and you can see the whole essential range over on the Waitrose website.

Disclosure: I have been compensated for my time spent working on this campaign with Waitrose but as always all thoughts and opinions are honest and are my own.

    Hi these sound lovely to encourage my 2 year old grandson to eat chicken. However, he has a dairy and egg allergy. Do you think those will still be ok withOut the egg? Many thanks

    Can we make them in advance and freeze them? How long can they be kept in the freezer?

    Lovely! The chicken thigh gave them a much better taste than chicken burgers I’ve made before with breast meat.
