I have based this recipeupon my family of 2 adults and 3 children

1] Using Stale or put bread slices in Low oven to dry out, grind or put in blender to make bread crumbs.

2] Prepare, peel and finely dice 1 Onion for Meat patty and slice the remaining 2 for the gravy

3] Prepare Gravy ; In a pan of boiling water approx 1 pint, crumble & disolve Oxo cubes, Ketchup, Seasoning and parsely,Basil to taste then add the 2 sliced onions and cook for about 20 minutes to make the rich gravy.
4] While gravy is cooking Place flour into bowl, add water to create a paste, making sure it is blended and no lumps then whisk in a few tablespoons of the gravy from the mince, mix well then add the paste slowly, into the mince and stir well. Remove from heat.

5] Place into a bowl, minced beef, parsley,basil,seasoning,finely diced onion, sesame seeds,Bread crumbs and the beaten eggs. Use a spoon or hands and make sure that this patty mix is well mixed together. Using some flour on your hands and surface, divide mix into 15 roughly equal parts, roll into a patty/burger shape,place onto floured plate for cooking.
6] Using fry pan, fry the patties until browned on one side, then turn over and repeat, about 3 to 4 minutes each side. Place onto ovenproof tray, place into oven and cook for about 15 minutes, this will rid the pattys of excess fat. Remove from oven and lay the pattys into oven proof dish or foil with deep sides.
7] Pour the gravy over the pattys and return to oven and cook for about 30 minutes. remove and serve.
