Mushroom Spinach Burger

Mushroom Spinach Hamburgers

I made these tonight. I did not tell the kids what they were made of. Mike guessed because he saw me making them.
After a few bites the boys said, 'yumm, this is the best burger I have had." A few minutes later, Mike looks at me and says, "this is at least a top 5 of all my fav meals you have cooked in 12 years!" Even Elektra ate hers!
The kids still have no idea what was in these, but all 3 ate them completely gone!

1 pkg Spinach - thawed & drained (I forgot to do this, so I microwaved it, till it was mostly thawed, then I squished it in between 2 towels to get rid of the water, but felt it was still going to be too moist, so I added about a 1/2 cup of seasoned bread crumbs.)
1 C Shredded Mozzarella Cheese
1 C Chopped Mushrooms
1 env. Onion Mushroom Soup Mix
1 tsp. Better Than Beef Bouillon (buy it where you buy your regular buillon cubes)
1 lb ground beef

Mix all the ingredients together and form into patties approx 5in by 1in.
Grill over high heat 2-4 min per side, flipping only ONCE!
Serve on buns with fav hamburger compliments.

Caleb finishing his. Elektra about half done with hers. (She ate the bun first)

Zachary finished his double burger and Mikey is taking his last bite!

Pot Roast (Crock Pot)

Pot Roast

Slow cooked Pot Roast.
I made this the other night and everyone raved about it. Even Elektra ate it and said "Mmmmmm Yummy!" and she is pretty picky!

2-4lb Pot Roast (mine was frozen solid)
1 pkg Ranch Dressing
1 pkg Italian Dressing
2 tsp. Better Than Bouillon
1/2 cup Beef Broth

Place meat in crockpot. (you can brown it in a skillet before if you like)
Mix the Dressings, Bouillon and Beef Broth.
Pour over the meat.
Cook in Crockpot on low for 6-8 hrs or high for 4-5.
Since my meat was frozen, I cooked it on high for 3 hours, then on low for 6 hours.
Take meat out, set on platter.
Pour out the juices into a skillet, add 2 TB corn starch to 2 TB beef broth (mix in a separate cup, stir well.)
Wisk everything together very well.
Slowly add beef broth.
Bring to a boil then reduce heat and simmer until thickened into a gravy.
(Add broth as needed to thin or thicken)
Serve over meat.
