Yummy beef rissoles

Beef rissoles, they bring back memories of childhood for me.  My dad used to make a seriously awesome rissole.  And now, with the creation of our families food firmly in my hands, I have taken over the last bastion of cheap eats and made it tastier, yummier and veggie smuggling. These are amazingly yummy beef rissoles!

So…we ended up cooking these on the bbq, but they would be just as awesome with a quick fry and then baking.  You need to be sure when working with mince that they are cooked through.  Adding zucchini and cheese into the mix not only helps with them binding, but also means they make more and go further!  So your super cheap meal becomes even cheaper.

If you are using fresh mince you can freeze these prior to cooking to have at another time as burgers or even as rissoles again, as the recipe makes 16 decent sized patties.  I discussed these with my daughter on the way home from dancing and she declared…I might eat them…I’ll try them… well…she sure did.  And declared them to be really yummy.

Even Master 4 who can be quite the fussy pot loved them, so they are going to be on regular rotation on our dinner menu.

What to serve them with? Well, you can go steamed veggies like me and some crunchy potatoes, or you can flatten them out a little more and pop them in a burger.  Either way, I promise, they are delicious!  They are perfect to cook on the BBQ or on the stove with a little oil or even par frying and then baking, your choice.

A tip for forming rissoles- you will make them easiest if you have wet hands.  Get the mix all combined, then grab a tray to put the rissoles on, and grab handfuls to shape.
