Welcome to Live Well by Raquel, where I share easy and wholesome recipes to nourish your body and mind.
I love family dinner nights! As a child you don’t realise how important this time is around the table. Then you all of a sudden grow up and life is flying past. I vary our family dinners each week to bring excitement to meal time and this is where my Gluten Free Burger Buffet is always a hit with adults, kids and anyone who wants to join us.
I simply do all the preparation beforehand and start placing the goodness on the main table. I make the burger patties in advance to pop in the oven ready to cook. Depending on numbers, I add a delicious tray of roasted chicken wings and always french fries. You can make your own or in this case, I cheated with frozen fries from the supermarket and cooked in the air fryer.
Take the pressure off cooking mid week. You don’t have to deliver a fancy meal every time. It is about sitting around the table, talking, eating and creating memories – always!

Imagine your family coming home to this! Its so easy! Just copy exactly what I have created and you will have rave reviews!

Why I Love This Recipe
I love this recipe because it is a delicious, filling meal and everyone makes their own! Leftovers are perfect for lunch the next day!
Ingredients
Source the best gluten free buns! Once you find them, buy in bulk and freeze to always have on hand!
- BEEF MINCE: You can choose chicken or pork as an alternative
- OREGANO : Diced
- SHALLOTS: Diced
- GF BURGER BUNS: I like to toast the buns to create a softness and crunch
- TOMATO & LETTUCE: Finely sliced.
- BEETROOT & GERKINS: Tin version is totally fine!
- ONIONS: Thinly Sliced
- SAUCES: Tomato BBQ and Chilli
- SLICED CHEESE: The first ingredient to always run out!

Instructions
Let’s get cooking! Guess what! There is no cooking!
- Let’s make the beef patties first. In a big bowl, add the mince, oregano and shallots. No egg or breadcrumbs required. Roll a handful of mixture in a ball, then press into a patty shape on a lined baking tray
- Preheat oven 180c and pop in for 15 -20 minutes until cooked.
- Meanwhile, lets organise the table! Slice the tomatoes and lettuce – iceburg, baby spinach and rocket to serve on a large platter.
- In bowls, place the beetroot, gherkins and sliced cheese. Add your sauces to the table. Place the buns on a plate
- Pan fry the onions with a dash of olive oil. Transfer to a bowl. Pop your airfryer on with the fries! You are ready!
- andYou will see in my photo, I included Roasted Chicken Wings – I simply place the chicken wings in a baking tray and drizzled with sweet chilli sauce/tamari and cooked for 20 minutes. Don’t forget the serviettes – I do every time!
Tips And Tricks
Can I choose other mince?
Yes, of course! Chicken or pork is delicious!
Could I add any other ingredients?
Yes! I sometimes grate zucchini and carrot to mix in the beef mixture.
Can I freeze the patties?
Yes you can – both raw or cooked!
