Cajun Burger Sliders

 If you are anything like me- you are catching that winter cold, feeling the business of the Holiday season and just want to sit on the couch with a hot tea and a Christmas movie! I DID NOT want to cook tonight but I have a husband to feed so I did a 20 minute meal idea that he loved. It was quick, easy and only included 8ish ingredients.

Cajun Burger Sliders

2 TBS Cajun Seasoning (try to find some with natural ingredients and sugar free- we use Chef Leo's)
1 LB of Nitrate free- ground beef
2 tsp Worcester Sauce
Romaine Lettuce leaves

Preheat skillet on medium heat for 4 minutes. Add all ingredients into a bowl and form into mini burgers. Put in the pan and cook until no longer red in center (About 10 min)
Place burgers on a romaine lettuce leaf with sliced tomatoes. (You can add any veggies)
~Makes 8 mini burgers

String beans

2 cups of fresh String Beans
1 TBS of grass- fed cow~ butter
sea salt and cracked pepper to taste (Brandon added Cajun seasoning to his)

Boil water in a pot and add beans to boiling water.
Cover and continue to boil for 4-6 minutes (depending on the softness you prefer on the beans.)
Drain and add butter and Salt and pepper to taste


Baked Apple Slices

2 small Gala Apples
1 TBS Palm Sugar
1/2 TBS Organic Maple Syrup

Slice apples and peel.
Place in a glass bowl and add Sugar.
Microwave for 5 minutes. Remove and stir. Add Maple Syrup to taste.

This was a delicious warm meal that was perfect for the Holiday season. The baked apples were a nice dessert during our Christmas Movie: "The Year Without a Santa Clause". This meal was Paleo so we didn't use bread or real sugar but if you wanted to add rolls, you could do that as well.
Happy Cooking!
