MN Wild Rice Burgers

After a recent trip to Duluth, where I had the BEST wild rice burger at Fitgers Brewhouse, I came home and decided to try my hand at it.    I googled and found this recipe that even MENTIONED Fitgers version, so I knew I had to start there!  


  • I started off by cooking up a batch of wild rice.   I'd say it made about 3 cups cooked.



  • While the wild rice was cooking, I sautéed up some minced garlic, diced celery and diced onions in a tablespoon of olive oil.  Until they were translucent.  As an after though I threw these in a food chopper because I knew chunks of these items in a burger would turn my kids off!



  • Once that was done, I mixed my wild rice and sautéed veggie mix together.   Next I threw in 1/2 cup of breadcrumbs. 

  • The recipe above called for Asiago cheese, I however could not find any and instead used shredded parmesan.  



  • I seasoned the mix with sea salt, crushed black pepper, oregano, thyme, paprika and cayenne pepper. 



  • I made sure that was all cool and then I mixed in two beaten eggs.   



  • I stirred the mixture good and then threw my hands in to make some nice sized patties!



  • I had a nonstick pan heating a tablespoon of olive oil on the stove.  As I made a patty I'd throw it on the oil.  The patties took about 3 minutes on each side until they were golden brown!  Make sure when you flip them there is still oil there, they will stick easy!   


We ate these on arnolds sandwich thins with a little bit of cajun ranch (simply mix cajun seasoning with some store bought ranch) and they were DELISH!  I also used a slice of pepperjack on mine! YUM.

Taco Soup

 My blood, sweat and tears went into this one.  Its a toughy.  Okay; skip the sweat, the blood and tears just came from the butter knife I used to chop up the chicken.  WHO manages to slice open a finger with a BUTTER KNIFE?!  Oh, yeah, MOI! Other than that event; this may have been the easiest thing I've cooked in months.     The hardest part of this recipe was the fact that Fareway foods did not carry green enchilada sauce, and I had to decide what to do instead.   Here is the cast of characters: 1 (15 oz.) can black beans, drained and rinsed 1 (15 oz.) can pinto beans, drained and rinsed 1 (14.5 oz.) can petite diced tomatoes, drained 1 (15.25 oz.) can sweet corn, drained --Oh ha, you don't see this in my picture!??  Silly me; its certainly NOT because I hate corn.  Nope....must have just been missing.    1 (12.5 oz.) can white chicken breast, drained 1 (10.75 oz.) can cream of chicken soup 1 (10 oz.) c...
