Sort of a mini Italian meat loaf?
Italian Style Beef Patties
1 Pound high quality ground beef
1-2 teaspoons Garden Gourmet garlic paste (or make your own)
1-2 teaspoons Garden Gourmet basil paste. (I am not sure what else would be equivalent, maybe dry basil?)
1 teaspoon dry oregano
dash of hot pepper flakes
1 teaspoon salt
a few grinds of black pepper
Add the seasonings to the ground beef and mix well. Shape into 2 oval patties or four round patties.
Preheat 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium heat. When the oil shimmers, add the patties. Cook about 5-6 minutes on each side depending on the size of the patty.
