Open Cheeseburgers

*Tried and Tested*

Wow this was really fun to make actually...and the kids really loved eating it.  It's great for a quickie meal as it doesnt' take much preparation.  Great with Salad.  The only issue we had was that the bottom of the bread went a bit hard so it was hard to eat...but the kids were quite happy to hack at it, I ended up just slicing the hard crust off sideways...then I had no problems at all. 

• 500g lean beef mince
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon pepper
• 1/4 cup (85g) tomato sauce
• 1/4 cup (45g) chopped onion
• 3 tablespoons (60ml) Worcestershire sauce
• 3/4 cup (30g) crushed cornflakes
• 1/2 cup (125ml) evaporated milk
• 1 (450g) loaf unsliced Italian bread, cut in half lengthwise
• 6 cheese slices

Preparation method

Prep: 15 minutes | Cook: 35 minutes

1.

Preheat the oven to 190 degrees C.

2.

In a medium bowl, mix together the mince, salt, pepper, tomato sauce, onion, Worcestershire sauce, cornflakes and evaporated milk until evenly blended. Divide the mixture in half and spread onto the cut side of each half of the loaf of bread. Place them cut side up onto a baking tray.

3.

Cook for 30 to 35 minutes in the preheated oven until meat is no longer pink. During the last 5 minutes of cooking, place the slices of cheese over the top to melt. Depending on how many you are cooking for you can cut into smaller pieces or serve in larger sections. Enjoy.
