This week it's pork-beef burgers, mashed sweet potatoes, and a veggie mix. Since I mixed a full pound each of pork and beef, I got enough burgers for 2 weeks worth of school lunches. I'll be putting half of them in the freezer for a future week.
The burgers : Mix together 1 lb ground pork, 1 lb ground beef, 1 egg, and a generous shake of garlic powder. Shape into patties. I made mine on the small side, and got 11 patties. You can cook your burgers using your preferred method. I don't have a grill, and my oven is broken, so my only choice was a skillet on the stove. Cook 10-15 minutes each side on medium heat. Cook an additional 10-15 minutes, flipping occasionally. It's helpful to cut one open to check for done-ness.
(yielded 11 burgers)
The sweet potatoes : 3 medium-large sweet potatoes, cut into quarters, boiled until soft enough to mash. Mashed with a bit of milk and some garlic powder.
(yielded 7-8 portions)
The veggies : 1/4 onion, 6 carrots, 3/4 cabbage. Chop all veggies. Cook onion and carrot on medium heat until almost done, then add cabbage. Cook, stirring as needed, til done.
(yielded 9 portions)
As you can see, I did have extra of everything this week. The burgers will go in the freezer, and the mash & veggies will probably be eaten over the weekend.
