Description
Smoked Beef & Spinach Burgers combine lean ground smoked beef with vibrant chopped spinach, creamy white cheddar, and a light breadcrumb binder for a juicy, protein‑rich patty that stays moist and flavorful. Simple seasonings of garlic powder, onion powder, salt and pepper enhance the natural meat taste while the spinach adds a boost of vitamins and a subtle earthiness. Grill each patty for five minutes per side, rest briefly, then serve on a toasted bun with lettuce, tomato, mustard with dip!!
