Beef & Vegetable Burgers

Submitted by Lorraine of AZ

"These burgers are just bulging with bits of vegetables which keep the meat nice and moist. I chopped the vegetables on my new kitchen toy, the Nicer Dicer, and it went very well. This was my 4th of July main dish along with potato salad and a luscious jello salad. If you shred the vegetables finely, this would be a good way to get them into reluctant kids. Recipe from a supermarket cookbooklet."

 

• Ready In: 30mins
• Ingredients: 11
• Serves: 6

ingredients

• 680.38 g ground beef
• 1 small onion, chopped (1/4 cup)
• 236.59 ml bean sprouts, coarsely chopped
• 59.14 ml chopped bell pepper
• 59.14 ml shredded carrot
• 59.14 ml chopped celery
• 2.46 ml salt
• 1.23 ml pepper
• 6 whole grain buns, split
• 2 medium tomatoes, each cut into 3 slices
• 354.88 ml alfalfa sprouts

directions

1. Mix all ingredients except buns, tomatoes and alfalfa sprouts. Shape mixture into 3 patties, each about 1/2-inch thick.
2. Broil with top about 3-inches from heat 10 minutes, turning once, until no longer pink in the centeer and juice is clear. I grilled mine on a stove-top grill pan for the same amount of time and this worked fine also.
3. Serve each burger on bun with tomato slice and alfalfa sprouts.
