Hamburger Buddy

From EatingWell: September/October 2007, EatingWell for a Healthy Heart Cookbook (2008)

Very finely chopping onion, mushrooms and carrots in the food processor is not only fast—it makes the vegetables hard to detect for picky eaters. They also form the base for the sauce of this ground beef skillet supper. Make it a meal: Serve with a green salad.

Loved this recipe! Didn't have dried thyme so used fresh. Garnished with a dollop of sour cream, a sprig of thyme and a sprinkling or pecorino romano. Agree that a sprinkling of pecorino romano added the perfect touch!

This is absolutely delicious!! Like other reviewers, I too have made tomato-based versions, but I thought this was a little better. I've made it twice, chopped the veggies by hand (day before so took no time to prepare next night) and the chunkier texture was perfect - and my 16-month old enjoys the small veggie chunks. Hand chopping took less time since you have to pre-chop anyway - and no extra gadget to clean up.

We liked it, although at first we felt something was missing. Then we added just a sprinkle of pecorino romano cheese and that was the extra touch it needed. This is a nice comfort food dish.

This recipe was ok, but finely chopping the vegetables gave it a somewhat unpleasant texture. It would be well worth the extra few minutes to chop the vegetables a bit coarser rather than "finely chopping" them in the food processor. I regularly make my own tomato-based versions which are just as easy and, I think, much better.
