Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground beef (preferably lean)
- 0.5 cup Onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 large Egg
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.5 cup No-salt-added breadcrumbs
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, chopped onion, minced garlic, and black pepper.
Add dried oregano, thyme, paprika, and cumin to the beef mixture. Stir well to integrate the spices evenly throughout the meat.
Crack the egg into the bowl and mix it into the beef blend. The egg will help bind the patties together.
Sprinkle in the chopped parsley and mix well. This adds a fresh flavor to the patties.
Pour in the breadcrumbs and carefully fold them into the meat mixture. The breadcrumbs will help absorb moisture and maintain the patties' shape without adding sodium.
Divide the meat mixture into small, evenly sized portions, forming each into a compact mini patty, about 2 inches in diameter.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, carefully place the beef patties in the skillet.
Cook the patties for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through to an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C).
Remove the patties from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Serve the low sodium mini beef patties warm, either alone or on slider buns with your choice of low-sodium toppings and condiments.
