Roasted Kielbasa & Vegetables

Here is a nice seasonal spin on a kielbasa dish. A one pan meal...it is so asy to make!  My kids told me that this recipe is a definite keeper! My hubby even thought it was just as good warmed up when he got home from work. Try it for yourself :)

4 medium carrots, cut into 1-in pieces
2 Tbsp olive oil

Caprese Burgers

Always love to find a good way to change up a good hamburger. Amazing how you can just add a few things and the taste completely changes!

Hamburgers

Ingredients:

1 beaten egg
2 Tbsp milk or water
3/4 cup soft bread crumbs (1 slice) or 1/4 cup fine dry bread crumbs
2 Tbsp chopped onion or 1/4 tsp onion powder
1 Tbsp prepared mustard or 1/2 tsp dry mustard
1 clove garlic, minced, or 1/8 tsp garlic powder (optional)
1 lb ground beef
4 or 6 hamburder buns, split

Directions:

In a mixing bowl combine egg and milk or water. Stir in bread crumbs; onion; mustard; garlic, if desired;p 1/4 tsp salt; and 1/4 tsp pepper. Add meat; mix well. Shape meat mixture into four 3/4 inch patties (10-12 minutes for 1/2 inch patties) or till no pink remains. Turn once. Serve patties on buns.

Directions for making into a Caprese Burger

Slice tomatoes and lightly brush with olive oil. Sprinkle with basil flakes and add to top of burger on bun. Also add a slice of mozzerella or just under 1/4 cup of shredded mozzerella. Enjoy!
