For a Quick and Easy Meal serve these Microwave Taco Burgers

Now that school is starting, families will be even busier than usual.  Homework, sports practices and games, etc can really eat up a family’s time. If you find it hard to get a quick meal on the table for your family, try making these Taco Burgers.  They cook in the microwave in about ten minutes.  Set out some condiments, chips and salsa for a quick and easy complete meal.  Remember that even during the busy times, it is still important to have family meals even if it is sandwiches sometimes.  No time for baking?  Keep fresh fruit available.  There is always time to grab a fresh pear, apple, banana, etc.  Fruit makes a great dessert after a hamburger meal.

QUICK AND EASY MICROWAVE TACO BURGERS
1/3 cup taco sauce
1/4 cup very fine dried bread crumbs
1 tsp chili powder
1/4 tsp garlic salt
1 lb lean ground beef
4 hamburger buns
4 lettuce leaves
4 slices pepper jack cheese

In a mixing bowl combine the taco sauce, bread crumbs, chili powder, and garlic salt. Crumble the ground beef into the mixture and mix together well. Shape the mixture into four equal sized patties. Place the patties in an 8-inch square glass baking dish. Cover loosely with paper toweling or waxed paper. Microwave on high for 3 minutes. Drain off excess fat, turn the patties over and return them to the microwave. Cook an additional 3 to 6 minutes or until the burgers are no longer pink. Remove from the microwave and drain the patties on paper towels. Add a slice of the pepper Jack cheese to each pattie. Place a lettuce leaf on the bottom part of each hamburger bun. Place the patties on hamburger buns atop the lettuce. Top with the top of the buns.

Suggested condiments: pickles, onion slices, salsa, cherry tomatoes

Enjoy!
