When combined, beef and eggs create a powerhouse of nutrients, making this duo not only delicious but also highly beneficial for our overall health and well-being. Enjoy beef and eggs on top of rice for lunch and dinner, or pair it with toast for breakfast.

Minced food is in smaller pieces than diced or chopped foods, and is often prepared with a chef's knife or food processor, or in the case of meat by a specialised meat grinder. For a true mince, the effect is to create a closely bonded mixture of ingredients and a soft or pasty texture.

Yes, when you are creating a burger patty or meatloaf, you want to maintain the shape you worked hard to put it in - as a binding agent, the egg assists in keeping the meat together and not falling apart.

Consider the fat content of mince before you buy.

However, as a general rule of thumb, for every pound of ground beef, you can use 1 to 2 eggs to bind the ingredients together and add moisture to the meat. For hamburgers, a common ratio is 1 egg for every 1 to 1.5 pounds of ground beef. This will help bind the meat together and keep the burgers moist.

You've probably heard of adding milk to a meatloaf to keep it moist, well adding evaporated milk to hamburgers has a similar effect. The bread crumbs will soak up the evaporated milk and keep the ground beef mixture juicy and tender, while also keeping all the juices inside during cooking.
