Am I falling more for ground beef lately???
Well, my husband gets very happy when I make something out of ground beef. I think I’ve already mentioned that if he enters the kitchen then it’s guaranteed that he will come out with meat loaf or some ground beef dishes. A few days ago, I felt way too much love for him and so decided to make a ground beef dish. If I cook with ground beef, I put a few conditions. It should be extra lean ground beef and it should be baked.
I got the extra lean ground beef, and then I thought about the ways to bake it. No, I wasn’t thinking about meat loaf at all. How about patties? Sounded good to me. I had brown mushrooms and so added it to the ground beef. Seasoned it with some aromatic spices and made patties out of it. Also, I didn’t add any eggs to the ground beef mixture. Yes, I tried to make it as healthy as possible.
It was so flavorful and loved the bite of mushroom in it. Baking till it gets golden in color but still slightly moist made it even more tastier. Interesting thing is that you could make several dishes with these patties: burgers, top your favorite salad, wrap it in a pita bread or tortilla. If you are not interested in any of these these, then just have it like that it’s just yummy in all ways.
