This may not sound like enough to satisfy you but trust me this is a whole meal and you won’t be hungry after eating this. This takes up the entire plate and is very filling.

Mushroom Beef Patties

grace2882 — Thu, 26 Jan 2012 16:00:36 +0000

Mike and I loved this so much that I made it two nights in a row.

Mike of course did not eat the mushrooms but he did love the sauce part of it on his burger. I will absolutely be making this again.

Mushroom Beef Patties

For beef patties

2 Tablespoons half and half
1 Tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1 pound ground beef

Mix all ingredients but beef together and then add to ground beef. Mix well and form into 5 patties. Cook in a non-stick pan over medium high heat until cooked thoroughly. Remove from pan and set aside.

For sauce

1/2 pound fresh mushrooms, sliced
2 Tablespoons butter
1 teaspoon dried basil
1/2 cup half and half cream
3/4 cup water
1/4 teaspoon hot pepper sauce
3/4 cup cheddar cheese shredded

In saucepan melt butter and add mushrooms. Saute until mushrooms are cooked thoroughly. Add the remaining ingredients with the exception of the cheese. Stir frequently until well blended. Heat and add cheese stirring continuously. When cheese is melted remove from the heat. Sauce will thicken in a few minutes.

Serve burger on plate with sauce on top. Makes 5 servings.

I haven’t shared a recipe that needs grilled for a few days. Lets try this one. This is a very light turkey burger that Mike really loves. Be sure to spray the non-stick foil with vegetable spray prior to putting the turkey burgers on it or you will lose most of the burger to the foil.

This will be one of the easiest and quickest recipes that you will ever find. You get roast beef from the deli and have it shaved for this recipe. So tender and tasty. The picture is horrible but I took it before I had used how to use the macro setting on my camera.

Lets use the slow cooker again. This is a very easy and tasty recipe. There is no reason to eat bland meals when you are doing low carb. Most people have a misconception of what low carb consists of. Our meals aren’t boring and we do eat vegetables. We eat a lot of vegetables.

To be honest I am eating more vegetables now than I did before I decided to get healthy. I don’t count french fries and tater tots as veggies but yet I used to eat them all the time. It was no surprise when I became a Diabetic and developed high blood pressure. Sometimes we are our own worst enemy.

Geocaching at Barboursville City Park

There are lots of pictures over on Facebook of my adventures yesterday while geocaching with my husband. We must have hiked over 4 miles total and climbed many hills but we had a wonderful time and I felt so much better after getting out in the fresh air. Come on over to Facebook with us. You know you want to.
