Although it is back-to-school time, it it still Summer! That means it is a great time for hamburgers! This flax burger recipe by Carrington Farms is sure to be a hit! I tried it this past Labor Day and I really liked it!
After eating standard burgers/cheeseburgers all season, this recipe puts a healthy spin on the traditional BBQ favorite, packs a ton of flavor and is rich in omega-3s, omega-6s, fiber, and lignans – serving plenty of nutrients with every bite.
Here’s the recipe:
Prep time: ~15 minutes
Ingredients:
- 1 pound thawed ground beef, lean ground turkey or bison, veal or your favorite meat
- 2 Tbs finely chopped onion
- 1 clove garlic minced
- 2 Tbs Carrington Farms Organic Milled flaxseed
- 2 Tbs water
- 3/4 cup soft bread crumbs (1 slice of bread)
- 1 beaten egg
- 1 Tbs mustard
- 1/4 tsp sea salt
- 1/4 tsp pepper
- 4-6 hamburger buns
Directions
- Mix together meat, onion, garlic, flax and bread crumbs
- Lightly beat water and egg together and add to mixture. Add mustard, salt and pepper
- Cook on a grill or stove top until no pink remains (~12 mins)
- Optional cheeseburgers: top with slice of your choice of cheese at end of cooking and grill or broil for about 1 min
Makes 4 -3/4 inch thick patties or 6 -1/2 inch thick patties.
They really are quite tasty and I love that they are a healthier option!
