This is a wonderful topping for the chocolate granola hamburger.

It is truly wonderful and taste so sweet and light. The chocolate in the granola burger was just icing on the cake.

Hamburgers

This recipe is so easy and tasty you will never buy pre made hamburgers again. They can be kept for a week in the refrigerator and up to a year in the freezer.

 

Put any amount of ground beef in a bowl to make the hamburger patties. I used 3 pounds because I will separate the beef to cover a few meals. If I am going to cook one meal I will usually cook 2 or 3 other things at the same time. This saves me time during the week of preparing other dinners.

Next I add everything from veggies to seasoning. I put in mine a bag of onion soup mix, some garlic, ½ cup per pound of any mixture of diced onion, green and yellow pepper, a jalapeno, some Italian seasoning, salt and pepper. Mix these ingredients well with your hands yes I said your hands. Take off your bling and get your fingers in there and mix everything up good. It can be very liberating. Just remember to wash your hands good before you touch anything else.

At this point I made 4 hamburger patties for the grill and rolled the remainder into meatballs.

 

 

I then put them on the grill and cooked until they were 170 degrees internally.

We dress our hamburgers with tomato, peppers, onions and lettuce.  Sauces we use are mustard, mayo and ketchup but you can use anything you want.
