Hamburger & Veggie Medley
What Started it all:
Hamburger, canned green beans, canned mixed vegetables
Alright, listen up! We're taking a simple hamburger and turning it into a meal that even your grandmother would be proud of. We're using canned green beans and mixed vegetables to bulk it up and make it healthy, but don’t let that fool you—this is still a bloody delicious dish. Now, let’s get to it!
Ingredients
- 4 hamburger patties (lean beef, if you want to keep it healthy)
- 2 cans of green beans, drained
- 2 cans of mixed vegetables, drained
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Optional: Low-sodium soy sauce or Worcestershire sauce for added flavor
Instructions
- Prepare the Patties: Season the hamburger patties with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Don't be shy with the seasoning; you want flavor, not blandness!
- Cook the Patties: Heat a non-stick skillet or grill over medium-high heat. Add the patties and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they’re cooked to your liking. For goodness' sake, don’t overcook them!
- Heat the Veggies: While the patties are cooking, grab another pan. Heat the olive oil over medium heat. Toss in the drained green beans and mixed vegetables. Season with a bit of salt, pepper, and if you fancy it, a splash of soy sauce or Worcestershire sauce. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until they're heated through and start to caramelize a bit.
- Serve It Up: On each plate, lay down a generous helping of the sautéed vegetables. Place the hamburger patty right on top. You can add a little extra seasoning on the veggies if you think they need it.
- Dig In: Now, serve it up hot and enjoy! This isn't just any meal; it's a bloody masterpiece!
There you have it! A simple yet satisfying meal that’s diabetic-friendly, packed with flavor, and easy to whip up. Now get in that kitchen and show those ingredients who's boss!
