Veggie Burger

A favorite of my family.

Actually, this is something that I make quite often.

Since this doesn't have anything that's not natural in it,

I thought I would share it with you.

Enjoy!

Ingredients:
Hamburger, Bell Pepper, Onion, Celery, Garlic, Mushrooms, Sea Salt, Pepper, Parsley, and Real Butter (not pictured, sorry).

Dice 1/2 Onion and Slice the other 1/2.  Chop up the celery and garlic.  We like a lot of garlic so I used 4 cloves.  You use as many as you would like.  My hubby would like me to use more.  You only need 1 celery stick, but I used what I had left and put some in a salad.

Throw your veggies into a skillet with a slab of Real Butter.   ...OOPS  Looks like I forgot something!

The PEPPER!  Chop up 1/2 of Bell Pepper.  I used the other half in a salad.

Throw the pepper in too and saute it till the onions are transparent.

Put your Hamburger, and your sauteed Veggies, Salt, Pepper, and Parsley into a bowl.

Mix well together.  Yes, it's safe to use your hands.  It adds that TLC!  :-)  Just be sure to wash them well afterwards.

Form them into patties and put them in the same skillet that you sauteed your veggies in, and cook them over medium heat.  Make sure the skillet is hot first.  You can tell that it's hot enough by flicking some water into the skillet.  If the water dances across the skillet, then it's hot enough.

After getting your patties in, throw in your sliced Onion and Mushroom.  Let the patties cook until the edges are brown.

Flip everything over and let it cook another 3 - 5 minutes; depending on how thick you made your patties.  Oh man!  It sure does smell good!

and Voila!  You're done.  :-)  Doesn't that look yummy!

We served this with Baked Sweet Potatoes.  Good Meal!  ;-)
