Today my creative juices were flowing and I decided to make a burger similar to how I made some chicken cutlets the other day.
I'm still being very diligent about encluding any wheat grain in any of my meals. Temporarily I think! I had been experiencing some intestinal discomfort and it was suggested by a nutritionist to start slowly and cut back on anything where wheat was included. Time to read boxes and make myself aware!!!! So many foods contain wheat. Read more about it when you get a chance. Google has been helpful.
Here's my recent beef(hamburger) recipe. I just wanted to play to see if I'd enjoy it. I definitely did!!
1 lb. ground beef(85 %)
1 tsp. Salt
1/2 tsp pepper
2 cups crushed corn flakes
1 tsp. Parsley
1/2 tsp. Paprika
1 tsp. Onion powder
cooking spray.
Mix beef with salt, pepper and onion powder. Make a good size patty. You should be able to get 4 to a lb.
In a bowl place 1 egg and whisk well. Two if you are using a lot of ground beef.
In a separate bowl. Place crushed corn flakes. Season with paprika, parsley and a little more onion powder.
Place beef patty in egg , turn over and dip both sides into egg and then into crushed seasoned corn flakes.
Have a cookie sheet lined with foil(easier to clean up) sprayed well with cooking spray and set oven temperature to 400 degrees.
Place patties on cookie sheet. Bake and 400 degrees until your desired cooked appearance. I like mine medium well so mine were of medium size and it took about 15 to 20 minutes. I turned after approximately 7 minutes. I didn't want any rare meat.
This was not a definite cooking time. It depends on you. It's a try and error approach.
It's a nice change and I'll definitely make these again. I may add different seasonings..You can too...Use your favorite ingredients to season the burgers or the crushed corn flakes. Enjoy!
