Are you a fan of Cambrooke\u2019s Camburgers, or their frozen veggie meatballs, but want to stretch your dollars for low protein meat alternatives? I have been playing around with Cambrooke\u2019s new Burger Patty Mix<\/a> and have come up with some cost saving (and time saving) options for people who like to prep in bulk.<\/p>\n With the recipe listed below, one bag of Burger Patty Mix<\/a> ($29.99) will make about 20 burgers or 76 Italian meatballs (about 1.25\u201d in diameter), which is substantially less expensive than the prepared frozen options. Camburgers<\/a> are 4 for $12.49, and frozen veggie meatballs cost $21.99 for 16 (granted, those meatballs are slightly larger than the ones I make.)<\/p>\n Additional advantages to making the dry mix ahead is that shipping costs are cheaper for dry ship, and the ready-made patties and meatballs are quick to microwave for daycare, babysitters, and VERY quick meals during the week!<\/p>\n A burger press (I use a Cuisinart plastic press) and the small OXO cookie scoop come in handy for quick prep. Then, all you have to do is pan fry the patties or meatballs in a generous amount of oil until VERY lightly brown, cool on a rack, then freeze in freezer bags! Quick and easy. My 3-year-old LOVES these patties and meatballs. They are also a staple at day care, where a microwave is our only heating option.<\/p>\n I have to admit, the first time I made burgers from the mix, the ratio of liquids to dry mix wasn\u2019t working for us, and the mixture was too sticky to handle. I have figured out the ratios for those who are interested.<\/p>\n Makes 6 patties \/ 25 Phe per patty<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.cambrooke.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/pattymix_burger_serv250x250.png\")
