Dinner comes together quick with this recipe. Full of flavor, hearty yet healthy and a family favorite (which is a rare find). Don’t skip making the burger sauce. Most of it can even be prepped ahead of time. This one is definitely put on repeat.
I have made this 3 times. Each time my husband keeps saying we need to have this more often. Now that summer is here we definitely will. It is sooooo good!
