Carrot Burgers

I know you are all probably laughing because you have carnivorous husbands that probably would never eat a "carrot burger," but they are seriously good! Give 'em a try!




Carrot Burgers:


1 1/2 cups shredded carrots

2 cups crushed corn flakes

2 eggs, beaten

1/4 cup chopped celery

1 T finely chopped onion

1/2 t salt

1/4 t sugar

1/8 t pepper

2 T olive oil


Directions:


Place carrots in a saucepan with a small amount of water. Bring to a boil; reduce heat. Cover and cook for about 5 min or until carrots are tender. In a bowl, combine remaining ingrediets and mix well. Add carrots. Form into 6 patties. Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat; cook patties for about 3 minutes on each side or until brown.


Rachel's sidenotes:


The patties don't seem like they will stick together, but once on the skillet they hold together pretty well. We ate ours on toasted muli-grain buns with tomatoes, lettuce, onions and BBQ sauce on top. You can really get creative with these babies! Elden said they were the best burgers he has ever had... veggie and all.
