Hi everyone! This week I decided to make a broccoli burger. In the grocery store, I found pre- chopped broccoli, which I thought would make the perfect healthy ingredient, especially because broccoli is one of my least favorite foods. At first, I wasn't sure what to do with the broccoli. However, seeing as how yesterday, the day I made this recipe, was July 4th, I realized I had to make burgers with the broccoli! I didn't follow a recipe; instead, I just put the broccoli into the burger. Below are the ingredients I used:
- Lean ground meat
- 1/3 cup finely chopped broccoli
- Hamburger spices
I made 2 burgers: the traditional burger on a bun with cheese, featured above, (for me) and a burger that I put on a bed of lettuce (for my mom).

This recipe was a success! All I had to do was mix the broccoli bits into the meat and then cook the meat. It only took one extra step to make this burger healthier. Burgers, in general, aren't my favorite food, but we always eat them on occasions like the Fourth of July. If I'm going to eat a burger, I might as well add some broccoli! I genuinely couldn't even taste the broccoli in it, which made me so happy. I could smell the broccoli, but that was the only downside. It tasted just as good as a normal burger we would eat!
Based on how easy this was to make and the taste, I rate this burger a 7.5/10! I would definitely consider adding the broccoli in again the next time we have burgers. I would also consider adding chopped broccoli to other food items because it didn't affect the taste. Here are some pictures of the way it turned out.
