In terms of a tasty burger at a low price, you could routinely consider taking a visit to McDonald's.

Nonetheless, many supermarkets even have some tasty choices.

However do they actually in comparison with the quick meals large?

Kyle O'Sullivan, author for our sister title The Mirror tried and in contrast the meat burgers from widespread chains to search out out which one got here out on high.

Filling his purchasing basket with burgers from three of the nation's favorite shops - Aldi, Tesco and Iceland - Kyle chomped his approach by the meat patties and the outcomes had been fairly surprising.

Here's what he fabricated from the 4 completely different burgers.

I have to confess I purchased this burger purely for the novelty issue however was pleasantly stunned by what I found.

The important thing function right here is the melting cheese centre, which is not even seen earlier than you place the burger within the oven.

In the midst of the 2 patties is a layer of cheese that begins to ooze out whereas it cooks away for 20 minutes.

The one frozen burger on the record, it is undoubtedly essentially the most handy as you simply pop it out of the freezer and depart it within the oven to do its enterprise.

The person patties are the thinnest we now have right here, however collectively they're greater than one from McDonald's and contemplating they had been frozen had been very comfortable and filled with flavour.

The one damaging I've is that it might even have finished with extra cheese as a result of it was such a scrumptious addition.

RATING: 7/10

Aldi

Product: Ashfields 4 Beef Quarter Pounders

Worth: £2.25 for 4

The most cost effective burger on the record got here from funds grocery store Aldi - and I used to be blown away.

It isn't going to be profitable any magnificence prizes and misplaced its form whereas it was being cooked within the frying pan.

Nonetheless, none of that mattered once I sunk my tooth into this juicy burger.

The succulent meat was dreamlike and you could possibly undoubtedly style the seasoning in addition to that particular beefy flavour.

Aldi have pulled it out the bag when it comes to style and value - so I'd undoubtedly advocate.

RATING: 8/10

Tesco

Product: Tesco Most interesting 4 British Beef Steak Burger

Worth: £3.50 for 4

Probably the most luxurious model on supply right here was the Tesco Most interesting 'Traditional One', which undoubtedly wins is the award for many interesting uncooked burger.

To my shock, the hefty, well-rounded patty managed to maintain its form whereas cooking and was undoubtedly the prettiest wanting burger.

It appeared promising however in the end was a little bit of a let down contemplating the value.

The succulent burger did have a pleasant smoky flavour and was much less greasy than the opposite grocery store choices.

It was additionally extremely thick and there was heaps to sink your tooth into, however this was additionally a little bit of a problem as there have been a good few gristly bits within the burger that bought caught in my mouth.

RATING: 6/10

McDonald's

Product: Quarter Pounder with Cheese

Worth: £3.39 for one

You by no means see the Hamburglar at McDonald's anymore - and it is in all probability as a result of he is run off to the grocery store.

As a self-confessed Maccies tremendous fan, I used to be satisfied that the traditional Quarter Pounder would simply come out on high however this was by far essentially the most disappointing burger of the lot.

I at all times thought it was the quick meals chain's greatest providing, however now I am beginning to query every thing I do know and love.

It might not be as skinny as a Huge Mac patty, however it's nonetheless fairly skinny and straightforward to demolish inside seconds so does not depart you feeling wherever close to full.

The burger had the least quantity of flavour of any of the candidates right here and the worst texture because it felt a bit like munching by cardboard.

You realize issues are dangerous when one of the best a part of the burger is the pickles, cheese and sauce - with the one different constructive being that it was the least greasy of all of the choices.

Oh, and there was no washing up.

RATING: 4/10

Closing Verdict

After chomping my approach by 4 burgers in fast succession, I can reveal my ultimate verdict.

I am unable to consider I am truly saying this however McDonald's is available in a disappointing final place - and I'd solely advocate for those who want one thing on the go or cannot be bothered to cook dinner.

In third place is Tesco's Most interesting, which I had excessive hopes for however flattered to deceive contemplating its value.

The runner-up is Iceland's burger, which was massively helped by the pleasant melting cheese centre.

However the true shock package deal was undoubtedly Aldi's beef burger - the juiciest, tastiest and the most cost effective of the bunch.

Now I am off to eat loads of greens.
