This was another great recipe coming from Cooking Light’s April 2013 issue. It was quick enough for a week night meal and Little G ate some (woo hoo!). I served it with mashed potatoes and roasted tomatoes. I wasn’t quite sure how the patty would stick together since there was no egg included, but it did!
