Veggie and meat burgers.

This is one of my daughter's favorites and we love it too. I use Organic grass-fed ground beef, but if you are not very fond of beef you could use ground chicken or turkey instead. I am not a big fan of pork although it tastes awesome, you could use it if you are fine eating pork. Whatever you use, it is going to be tasty. All my recipes revolve around kids' taste buds, my ultimate goal while cooking is to get my daughter to eat happily :)

Ingredients:

1. 1 pound ground grass-fed beef (you could use the 16% fat or the extra lean, I use the 16% fat).
2. 1 large carrot - Finely Chopped
3. Chopped String Beans - a handful. (You could use any vegetable of your choice)
4. Boiled Kidney beans - 1 cup.
5. Chopped cabbage - 1 cup.
6. Chopped onions - 1/2 cup.
7. Chopped garlic - 4-5 large cloves.
8. Ground Cumin - 1 Tbsp.
9. Ground Coriander - 1/2 Tbsp.
10. Ground Chipotle  Pepper - 1 Tsp
11. Ground Cayenne Pepper - 1 Tsp 
12. Ground Cloves - 1/8th Tsp.
13. Salt - according to taste, I use about 3 Tsp.
14. Cheese(optional)- Can use mild Cheddar cheese if you can tolerate.

Process:

• In a pan heat some ghee/ coconut oil and saute the vegetables till they are almost cooked(crisp).
• In a food processor mash the boiled kidney beans or boil it really nicely, strain the water and mash it with a fork.
• Now mix the vegetables, mashed kidney beans and the other ingredients thoroughly with the ground meat.
• Shape it up like burgers and neatly place on a cookie sheet/ stoneware baking tray.
• Heat up the oven to 350 degrees and let cook.
• Check after 1/2 hour, cook more of needed.
• Enjoy with Tomato Ketchup Sauce.
