Breakfast Burgers

As promised here is my next go to breakfast idea.

My parents raised their own beef this year and ((lucky me)) they were willing to share with me.  It had been quite a while since I could eat beef.  I had been vegan for so long that even when I started to eat meat again beef always made me ill.   I am not sure if I am just over it or if it is the difference in grass fed beef.  I am very happy that I can keep it down with no problems now. 

 







I just wanted to show how very lean this meat is.  I even had to add some olive oil to the pan to get it to cook.  See how these patties didn't really shrink at all?  I guess that is how you can tell it is from a happy cow.


Breakfast Burgers

1 pound ground beef
1/2 onion chopped
1/4 t. sea salt
1/2 t. cayenne pepper
1/4 t. ground cloves
1/4 t. allspice
1T. finely chopped rosemary

This is super easy and quick.  Mix everything in a bowl.  Then with your hands form little patties about half the size you would want a hamburger. 

Warm the oil (if you need it) in a pan one medium heat.  Cook the patties for about 3 minutes on one side and about 5 on the other.  They should be nicely browned and slightly pink on the inside.

When I have a long work day I am always so happy that I have these made up.  It is so easy to grab them out of the fridge and go.
