Grillers, Gravy and Mashed Potatoes

Looking for a low fat easy dinner? Try the Morningstar Vegetarian Grillers. They can be found in the freezer section of almost any grocery store. Each box contains 4 grillers (burgers).

Below is the recipe for how our family makes them served with homemade gravy and mashed potatoes.

Ingredients

•  2 tablespoons butter
• 2 tablespoons flour
• 2 cubes of vegetable bouillon
• 1 1/2 cups boiling water
• 1/2 cup of milk
• 4-8 grillers (broken into 4 pieces each)

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit
2. Thaw the grillers (burgers) and cut each griller into 4 pieces then set aside
3. Melt the butter in a small saucepan
4. Add the flour to the saucepan and, using a whisk, stir both together until combined and heated through
5. Dissolve bouillon in the boiling water (have this ready before you combine the butter and the flour)
6. Add the bouillon water to the saucepan
7. Add the milk
8. Whisk everything together until all is heated through and it thickens
9. Put the grillers in a baking dish and cover with the sauce
10. Bake until the sauce is bubbling

Making Garlic Mashed Potatoes

Ingredients

• 8 medium red potatoes, diced
• 3-4 cloves of garlic, minced
• 1/2 cup of warmed milk
• Pinch of salt
• Pinch of pepper

Directions

1. In a medium sized pot, boil the potatoes until a fork pricked through them comes out soft (about 10 minutes). Then drain the potatoes and put them back in the pot.
2. Add 3 tablespoons of butter, 1/4 cup of warm milk, 3 cloves minced garlic and a pinch of salt and pepper.
3. Using a masher, mash the potatoes. Adjust the consistency to your liking — if you like your mashed potatoes lumpy then don’t mash as much. Add more milk if you want a softer mushier consistency.

You can leave the garlic out if you don’t want the garlic taste.

Enjoy! They are a monthly staple at our house.
