Skillet Burgers

This is the perfect burger if you're watching your carb intake. It's perfect just sitting on the plate without a bun. Ok, I know what you're thinking, this is a WEIRD recipe. While I agree that I was at first against trying it, I thought about it again and again. I was very surprised at how delicious and moist this was. If you're not watching your carbs, place this over cheddar mashed potatoes and you'll never question my recipe posts again. Enjoy!!

Skillet Burgers Serves 6

2 lbs. ground beef
1/2 c. dry bread crumbs
1 envelope taco seasoning
1 can (14 1/2 oz.) diced tomatoes with onions, undrained
1 can (11 1/2 oz.) condensed bean with bacon soup, undiluted
1/2 c. shredded cheddar cheese

1. In a bowl, combine the beef, bread crumbs and taco seasoning. Shape into 6 - 3/4" thick patties.

2. In a large over medium heat, cook patties for 3 minutes on each side or until browned. Remove patties; drain.

3. Add tomatoes and soup to the skillet; return patties to the pan. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 10 minutes or until the meat is no longer pink. Sprinkle with cheese; cover and heat until cheese is melted.

I am intrigued! I am wondering how this would be with ground turkey breast instead of ground beef. ???

I think you can easily change from ground beef to ground turkey. Let me know if you try it and enjoy it.

I tried this with the ground turkey. I liked it....but I do think there needs to be some beef! Next time (yes, there will be a next time!) I will try half ground beef and half ground turkey, which is what I do for meatballs.
