So this week I am able to offer you a whole meal that is super cheap at Publix! (I am not on the ball yet but i'm beside it which is better than under it ;))
Last Night's menu was Tuna Burgers, Strawberries and Roasted red potatoes & green beans in a rosemary butter sauce. Sounds fancy right? Seriously? Please do not believe I was in the kitchen cooking longer than 30 minutes last night. (and that counted fixing my kid's sippy cups of juice & milk)
So here is the recipe - are you ready?
Tuna Burgers:
Ingredients:
1/2 Cup of shredded cheese (I used monterey jack)
1/2 cup fat free/low fat/light ranch dressing. (I used Marzetti)
1 cup breadcrumbs separated (1/2 cup is going IN the burger and 1/2 cup for dredging)
Oil for cooking (I use olive but ANY works)
Step 1: Mix the 2 pouches of tuna with the cheese, dressing and 1/2 cup of breadcrumbs. Mix it well then form it into fish patties. I used Rachel Ray's trick of flattening it into a huge patty at the bottom of the bowl then using your hand to make a "+" in the mixture then you scoop out each quarter to make a burger! Cool huh?
Step 2: Heat your olive oil in a pan on medium heat. While your oil is heating coat the fish patties in bread crumbs.Step 3: Place the fish patties into the heated pan.
Step 4: Cook your patties for 3-5 minutes on each side until they are golden brown on each side. Mine needed to cook a little longer for whatever reason. I just cooked till they looked like this:
Now while those burgers are cooking.... grab a bag of Green Giant Steamfresh veggies and cook according to directions. (That's how you get the fancy sounding veggies ;) I wanted some potatoes so i went with roasted red potatoes and green beans in Rosemary Sauce!) The fish patty is shown here not on a bun, but I have had this on a bun before and it is GREAT on a bun!!! I just chose not to have buns tonight because I've had plenty of bread today :)
Hopefully I can break this down in cost for you for publix.Last week you could have picked up some breadcrumbs for .71 a cannister. I'm hoping you did that :)
