However, I have never used it to stretch ground beef! I have pounds of shredded zucchini in my freezer...I am definitely going to do this!

My kids love veggies and particularly zucchini, squash, carrots and chopped broccoli stems over pasta topped with parmesan but your idea sounds really good for moist hamburger. I'll definitely try this!

I havent tried zucchini yet, but i'm very well known for stretching my meat as much as possible. For example i've used brown lentils, seitan (i know you cant tolerate both gluten and legumes, sorry- but maybe other readers would appreciate it though), Umm Maryamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05798227476898545101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1300660817354328186.post-12855380913952751182019-11-18T06:06:43.722+00:002019-11-18T06:06:43.722+00:00A bit of carrot will give it more body and reddish...A bit of carrot will give it more body and reddish color.Batyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09402874037427009327noreply@blogger.com
