Veggie-filled Burger Recipe
1 med sweet potato
1 yellow squash
1 zucchini
1 med onion
1lb or so diet lean hamburger
Steak seasoning to taste (probably 1.5 TBSP)
1/4 cup bread crumbs
1 tsp onion powder
2 TBSP steak marinade (I get this at the best of Missouri so I am not sure you can find it in the store)

Directions:  Peel all 4 vegetables and shred. Mix shredded vegtables with rest of ingredients. Let sit in fridge at least 1 hour and up to 24.

Press patties into whatever size you like. I made 9 last night. Warm up non stick skillet with 1tsp of olive oil. Cook burgers 4-5 min each side or until finished. I covered the skillet with a lid for at least the last minute just to make sure they are done.
