Burger Meat
Heat a skillet over high heat. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it up as you go, until mostly browned.
Add the garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, pepper. Cook until beef is browned all over. Add the mustard and worcestershire sauce and stir through.
Drain any excess liquid from the beef, if required. Saute the sesame seeds for 30 seconds - 1 min and stir through the beef.
Ground Beef Alternative: If you or your children are not keen on ground beef then it can be substituted with ground chicken/turkey. Alternatively, cook the burgers and crumble/chop them into bite-sized pieces.
Onion: Try thinly slicing and soaking the onions in lemon juice, vinegar or water for 20 mins before serving. This reduces the strong taste that is often off-putting to children.
Burger Sauce: Taste and adjust to suit. (For a sweeter sauce add more mayo/ketchup, for a more acidic sauce add more vinegar. Want it spicier? Try adding a little hot sauce).
