Quick Burgers

 

Serves 4

 

4 cups frozen corn kernels

4 hamburger patties, fresh or frozen (or 4 pieces of chicken, 4 fish fillets, 4 veggie burgers, etc.)

4 Tbsp. Italian salad dressing, divided

20-32 oz. frozen mixed vegetables

 

Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Spray inside of 2-quart Dutch oven and lid with olive oil. Pour in corn kernels. Set patties atop corn layer and drizzle with 3 Tbsp. Italian dressing. Fill pot with mixed vegetables, as many as will fit. Drizzle with remaining Italian dressing.

 

Cover and bake for 25-40 minutes, depending upon the thickness of your patties, whether they are fresh or frozen, how rare or cooked you like them, and the type of meat or meat substitute used. You'll know it's ready about 3 minutes after the aroma of a fully-cooked meal escapes the oven.
