Report
These healthy burgers are made with lean ground beef and lentils, for extra fiber and nutrients in each bite, but you can't tell just by tasting them!
Share:
Ingredients
- 1 pound lean ground beef
- 1 (15 oz. can) cooked lentils (about 1 1/2 cups, drained & rinsed)
- 1 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
- In a large food processor fitted with an "S" blade, add the ground beef, drained lentils, salt, onion powder, and garlic powder. Process briefly, until the mixture sticks together, but isn't totally pureed. You just want the lentils to blend in with the meat. (Alternatively, you can mix this all together by hand in a bowl.)
- Use a 1/3 cup measure to scoop the meat, then roll it into a ball between your hands and flatten into patties about a 1/2-inch thick. The thinner the burgers are, the less noticeable the lentils will be. Repeat with the remaining mixture, forming 8 to 9 patties in total.
- Heat a skillet or griddle over medium high heat, then spray it with cooking oil before adding the patties. (I can usually fit 3 patties in a 10-inch skillet at once, but you may be able to cook them all at once on a griddle.) Add the burgers, and sprinkle the tops with a little extra salt, if you like. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes, until the edges are starting to brown.
- Flip the burgers (you should see a nice sear on the side you just flipped) and cook for another 3 to 4 minutes, until they are done to your liking. Ground beef should be cooked to an internal temperature of 160ºF, if you want to check with a meat thermometer. Repeat with the remainin burgers, until they are all cooked.
- Serve these healthy burgers warm, with your favorite toppings. Leftover burgers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for 3 to 4 days, as long as you store them within 2 hours of cooking. You can also freeze these for up to 4 months! Thaw the individual patties in the fridge overnight before reheating again.
