Ingredients:

Two pounds of ground beef.
8 oz roll of breakfast sausage (nitrate free).
One quarter cup of cream.
One quarter cup of oatmeal (optional to prevent shrinkage).
Joseph's flax LC pitas.
Sharp cheddar cheese.
Fresh spinach leaves.
Mayo, butter or oil.

Method: Combine ground beef and 25% breakfast sausage with heavy cream and a little ground up oatmeal (optional). I ground oatmeal in the blender.

Mix well and let sit refrigerated for 24 hours before pressing into 5 oz patties.

Fry a patty in butter, lard or coconut oil, then top with sharp cheddar cheese. Toast a pita, let cool then split with scissors or a knife. Spread mayo on insides then add a layer of fresh spinach leaves (remove stems) and the cooked patty. A fried egg can be added as well if desired. Toast the completed 'cheeseburger' in a toaster oven or brown it on both sides in a fry pan. Browning brings out the nutty flavor of the 'bun'.

I think its the best cheeseburger of any kind I have ever eaten. Makes 8 patties each cheeseburger serves one :yum:
