Recipe: Spinach Burgers



I have found that I waste a lot of my free time searching Pinterest, mainly when Mike is playing a game on the TV or watching football and I don't care about the teams playing. During my several hour marathon of "pinning", I find some interesting recipes. I have tried several of them, that I had to make another folder to contain the ones that we've repeated or would like to have again!

When I pinned this recipe, Mike had seen it but didn't realize that I was the one who discovered it, so when I asked about a menu for the week, he started to describe this meal. I laughed and pointed out that I was the one who found it. Needless to say, it was on the menu.

It was really easy to make, and when it was cooking in the pan, my nose kept smelling hamburgers instead of this healthy meal. It was really good, and will most likely be seen around again soon.




Here's the recipe...

Ingredients:

1 bag of thawed and well drained chopped spinach (I ended up with a small frozen container)
2 egg whites
1 whole egg
1/4 c diced onion (I added whatever I wanted, since we both like onions)
1/2 c shredded cheese (I added a little more to help with texture)
1/2 c bread crumbs
1 tsp red pepper flakes (I added to taste)
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp garlic powder (I added to taste)

Mix in a bowl until everything is well combined.

Heat a skillet on medium-high heat. Spray the pan with non-stick spray. Make your patties and place them into the skillet. Cook each side 4-6 minutes each side, then flip and repeat.

Serve with your favorite toppings.*

Enjoy!

Note*: Mike had his on a bun with more onion, Dijon mustard and Srircha. I had mine with a little more onion.
