Dinner For One

The server went down so I decided to make myself a nice gourmet meal. 

I began with some ground beef I got for $2 at the supermarket. I added a handful of chopped spinach, a few sprigs of chopped parsley, 2 diced mushrooms, 1/4 diced onions, 2 cloves of garlic, a pinch of cayenne pepper and salt and pepper to taste.

 
I formed the ingredients into a large ball and pulled off half of it to form into a burger. I flattened the burger out and grabbed a spatula to throw it into the pan. I used olive oil as my non-stick cooker.


 I cooked it on either side for about 4 minutes until it started to brown. At the last minute of the final flip I added a shredded provolone/mozzarella mix to the top to melt. I toasted the bun on a separate pan with a little olive oil spread on the inside. I then put the patty on the bun and topped with fresh parsley, spinach, and yellow mustard.








There you have it! A simple easy dinner I made in less than 20 minutes and for under $5.
