Veggie by Season: Vegetarian Grill...and Hamburgers

Welcome!

Thanks for stopping by Veggie by Season!

This blog was formerly A Year in the Kitchen. When I began blogging, the intention was to chronicle my first year in the kitchen as a married gal. I had so much fun that it lasted three wonderful years.

My life has changed a lot in those three years though, and so has my blogging style and content. I was a former vegetarian for 7 years, but began a bit of meat again in college and for two years post graduation. Over the past year, I began phasing it out of my diet, and went back to vegetarian in April.

Thanks for reading, Ash

Vegetarian Grill...and Hamburgers

Since it's now officially summer, we decided to grill out tonight. We knew we wanted the sweet potatoes and corn that Bobby Flay made on Throwdown, but we needed to have something else. I decided to make a veggie burger for myself. JJ has been doing great with not eating meat, and I knew he'd been craving a big juicy cheeseburger, so I picked up some ground beef for him and made him some burgers. We added a side salad and this was a great, complete, vegetarian meal!

Big, Juicy, Healthy Cheeseburgers

1 lb. 96% lean ground beef

1/2 yellow onion, grated

1 tbsp. worchestershire sauce

Garlic Salt

Pepper

Pinch of crushed red pepper flakes

4 slices of colby jack cheese

Gently toss ground beef, onion, worchestershire, salt, and peppers in a bowl. Form into 4 patties. Grill for 5 minutes on each side (medium-well). Place the cheese on for the last minute or two of cooking.
