Yummy Burger Night

My hubbie got this recipe emailed to him from a co-worker, so we decided to try it out. I know from the photo it's hard to tell, but it was bomb!!! Since I can't eat wheat, I don't have a bun & also those are sweet potato fries! My hubbie had them with English muffins (he likes better than regular buns) and tator tots. The brown rice creates an awesome texture to the burgers, and also the apple sauce creates a warm sweat taste! VERY YUMMY! Totally good for you as well, and I didn't have to cut anything out of the recipe! A keeper for a recipe!
