Instrucciones

Combine beef, Worcestershire sauce, onions, carrot, wheat germ and pepper in a bowl. Divide mixture into 2 equal portions. Use half the mixture to make Warm Greek Sandwiches and the other half to make Mini-Burgers.

Warm Greek Sandwiches: Cook half the ground beef mixture in large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat, breaking up meat with back of spoon, for 10 minutes or until thoroughly cooked. Remove from heat; drain and toss with 1/4 cup (50 mL) calorie reduced Greek vinaigrette dressing. Divide among 4 warm whole wheat pitas. Top with some shredded iceberg lettuce, diced tomato, sliced red onion and crumbled feta cheese.

Mini-Burgers: Form half the ground beef mixture into fifteen patties, using 1 tbsp (15 mL) for each patty to make 3/4 inch (2 cm) thick patties. Bake on foil-lined baking tray in a preheated 400°F (200°C) oven for about 12 minutes or until digital thermometer inserted into several patties reads 160°F (71°C). Cut 5 hot dog buns into thirds and tuck a patty into each third. Note: Any extra patties can be frozen for up to 3 months.
