Zucchini Hamburger
One of my most favorite flavors of the summer is garden fresh ZUCCHINI, especially when paired with tomatoes and basil – OH SO YUMMY! This recipe is a undeniably healthy, yet is packed full of family friendly flavor and is perfect for a week night meal since you can get it on the table in less than 30 minutes!
The secret to making a dish so full of flavor so quickly, is using MASSEL’s Beef Bouillon Granules!! They are my go to shortcut secret, they incorporate all the flavors of all-day-long-simmering in an instant 🙂 Yes, of course I love long-slow cooked meals and you all know what a HUGE advocate I am for having homemade bone broth as a part of your regular diet for health reasons – but I know so many of you are busy and need healthy meal options that everyone will love and come to gather in a snap! I’ve been a HUGE fan of Massel’s Bouillon for quite some time and LOVE the flavors they impart into even the simplest of meals – check out my Quick & Easy Pea Soup, Sauteed Mushrooms, Roasted Brussels Sprouts and Bloody Mary Recipes on my blog – they all use Massel’s Bouillon as their secret ingredient!
