I have to admit I love a good burger and fry night. And while I enjoy a deliciously grilled burger I use to feel guilty for not having some sort of veggies served with the meal. I then started making my own patties and it changed everything. Not only is the taste a lot more complex but I no longer need to worry about the guilt of not serving a veggie because I put them right into the burgers. I use a hamburger press to make them even and for freezing. When I make patties I tend to make a large batch so I don’t have to make them every time we have burgers.
Here’s the recipe I use
4 lbs Ground Beef ( I tend to use lean)
1 Zucchini
4-5 Mushrooms
2 Carrots
1 onion
2 Bell peppers ( I prefer the sweet ones as opposed to the green)
2-3 Cloves of Garlic ( or more if you love garlic as much as I do)
2-3 handfuls of Spinach
1 egg
A splash of Soy sauce
Take your veggies and place them in the food processor and finely chop. You may need to do this in a several batches. Add veggies, ground beef, egg and soy sauce to a large bowl. Mix well. Form into patties (I get between 16-20 burgers depending on size) freeze till ready to grill.
I hope you give this recipe a try! What are your favourite burger recipes?
