Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground meat, chopped kale & peppers and all the spices. Mix until fully combined. Form the mixture into 4 even patties and freeze (I put on cookie sheet). Wrap frozen patties for future use.
Preheat oven to 400⁰ F. I put the frozen patties directly into the oven on a preheated grill pan and cook for about 20 minutes (until 165⁰ F). Or you can spray a large frying pan generously with oil (I like avocado oil) and when heated, add 2 patties to it (frozen). Cook for 3 minutes before flipping sides and cooking for another 3 minutes. Finish cooking in 400⁰ F oven until burgers reach 165⁰ F if needed.
