Question: I refuse to cook more than one pound of ground beef for one meal in this family. This works fine for everything (ie tacos, spaghetti, chili, etc) but not so much for burgers. So I am always adding stuff to the ground beef to stretch it so I can make 6 bun-sized burgers. Do any of you have any secrets to success? Usually I use cooked mushrooms, eggs, bread crumbs, etc . . . last night I resorted to cooked zucchini, ground up in the food processor with (uncooked) oatmeal and an egg. It looked really gross, and the patties completely fell apart on the grill . . . but 100% of my critics gobbled it up and begged for more. (I even told them there was zucchini in it to try to make them eat less!!) :) I am looking for something that holds the patties together better. Any ideas? (It seems that the grass-fed beef already makes patties that are harder to keep together, so I am starting behind!) Thanks for your help!!
Hope you are all having a good week!
Love,
Kathy
