Instructions
Dice the onions into small pieces. In a saute pan, brown the beef (or turkey) with the diced onions until the beef is no longer red and the onions are soft. To the meat add the seasonings. Add the tomato sauce and ketchup. Let the sauce simmer with the meat for a few minutes until the sauce begins to thicken. Place the hamburger buns on a cookie sheet opened up, flat. Melt the butter in a bowl. With a pastry brush, brush the melted butter onto each of the buns. Sprinkle with the garlic seasoning and place 1-2 t. of shredded mozzarella cheese on one side of each bun. Place in the oven on broil for 20-45 seconds, or until the cheese begins to melt and they become slightly golden brown. Once they are golden, remove them from the oven and place a good helping of the meat mixture on to each set of buns. Serve warm.
DIRECTIONS USING THRIVE BEEF: Place the freeze dried ground beef into a bowl and cover with water. Let soak for 10-15 minutes. In a saute pan that is on medium heat, drizzle with a little olive oil. Drain the water from the ground beef. Add the hydrated beef to the hot oil. Add the Thrive onions and saute until golden brown. To the meat add the seasonings. Add the tomato sauce (or Thrive Tomato Powder and water) and ketchup. Let the sauce simmer with the meat for a few minutes until the sauce begins to thicken. Place the hamburger buns on a cookie sheet opened up, flat. If using Thrive Life Butter, prepare the butter in a small bowl with water and then use as normal. Melt the butter in a bowl. With a pastry brush, brush the melted butter onto each of the buns. Sprinkle with the garlic seasoning and place 1-2 t. of shredded mozzarella cheese on one side of each bun. Place in the oven on broil for 20-45 seconds, or until the cheese begins to melt and they become slightly golden brown. Once they are golden, remove them from the oven and place a good helping of the meat mixture on to each set of buns. Serve warm.
