What’s Cookin’?: The Burger Bowl [Recipe]

Kelly Bland, from the UK Cooperative Extension Office, is back for another edition of What's Cookin'? here on WBKR.  This week, as we get close to Christmas, she's "plating up" a delicious an interesting dish that is one part burger and one part salad.  In fact, think of it this way.  Think of a fully dressed hamburger (one that's been run through the garden) and now, in your mind, turn it into a salad.  Get the idea?  Sound delicious?  Good. This is how you make The Burger Bowl!

2 heads of romaine lettuce
•
1 pound extra lean ground beef

1. Chop romaine lettuce and set aside.
2. Place ground beef and seasoning salt in medium bowl. Mix and divide the ground beef into 15 mini burger patties.
