Transform your weeknight dinners with these flavorful Spinach Mushroom Beef Patties—a protein-packed recipe that combines the richness of ground beef with the earthy goodness of mushrooms and fresh spinach. Infused with aromatic garlic, onion, and a blend of paprika and thyme, these patties are as fragrant as they are delicious. The addition of breadcrumbs and a beaten egg ensures a tender, juicy texture in every bite. Perfectly pan-seared to golden perfection in olive oil, these patties can be served as a standalone dish, paired with a crisp salad, or elevated into gourmet burgers. Quick to prepare and loaded with wholesome ingredients, this recipe strikes the perfect balance between hearty comfort food and veggie-forward cooking.
Wash the spinach and chop it roughly. Clean the mushrooms and finely dice them. Peel and finely chop the onion and garlic cloves.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté the onion and garlic until fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the mushrooms to the skillet and cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened and any liquid has evaporated.
Stir in the spinach and cook for another 2-3 minutes until wilted. Remove from heat and let the mixture cool to room temperature.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, sautéed spinach and mushroom mixture, egg, breadcrumbs, salt, black pepper, paprika, and thyme. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
Shape the mixture into 8 equal-sized patties (about 1.5 cm thick each).
Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a non-stick skillet or grill pan over medium heat. Cook the patties for 4-5 minutes on each side or until they are browned and fully cooked through.
Remove the patties from the pan and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
Serve the patties warm on their own, with a salad, or as part of a burger. Enjoy!
