BARLEY BEEF BURGERS - YUM!

3/4 c. cooked barley - cooled
12 oz. lean ground beef
1/2 tsp. salt
4 - 6+ hamburger buns *Depends on how thick & big you want your burgers
1 sm. onion, diced into small pieces
2 tbsp. barbecue sauce
1/4 tsp. ground black pepper
1-2 tsp. whole grain flour of your choice
A little extra flour to dip patties in just before cooking

1. Combine barley and onion in food processor. Whirl until finely chopped.
Add to another bowl containing beef, barbecue sauce, salt, pepper. Mix well and add just enough flour to reduce the stickiness & aid in patty formation.

Cover meat mixture and cool in fridge for about 30 minutes. *You can skip this step, just be aware that your patties may be softer & a bit crumbly if you do.

Shape into desired size of patties and dip in remaining flour to lightly coat. Spray pan or grill with non-stick spray and cook to your desired level of doneness.

*Remember undercooked ground meat can cause serious illness and even death.

Add your favorite condiments and Enjoy!

Chili & Taco Meat

For these 2 recipes, just prepare as you usually do,Cook & Season and then add in whatever grain you want. VERY EASY. Add as much or as little as you want to.

Remember Millet works great because it takes on the flavor and color of whatever you put it with. It also sort blends in, in case you are sneaking

I added precooked Spelt ,Red Quinoa and Millet to the Chili and the Taco Meat.
