I was a bit tired of the same old burgers, so decided to try putting these burgers on the grill - with ingredients similar to my meatloaf.  You may want to play around with the amounts – I usually don’t measure anything when I’m experimenting, so I’ve just tried to estimate what I used.  You can add or delete anything that you don’t like – or if you have a fussy family member, just mix up everything but the ingredients they don’t like, make burgers for them, then add the rest of the ingredients and make the burgers for the rest of the family.

• 1 lb ground meat (beef, turkey, chicken or pork or any combination)
• 1/4 cup tvp (dry)
• 1/2 onion choppped
• 1 clove of garlic chopped
• 1/4 cup oats
• 1/4 cup green relish
• 1 egg
• 1/4 cup ketchup
• 1/8 cup barbecue sauce
• Mrs. Dash – table blend to taste
• ground pepper

Grill slowly over low heat for approximately 7 – 10 minutes per side or until cooked.   If you have time, make them up ahead of time and cool in the refridgerator.  Leftover burgers are even better.  You don’t need cheese or buns, they taste great just plain.
