No Bake Nutella Balls (chocolate truffles)

Here’s a new favourite truffle I added to our Christmas cookie boxes this year. I’ll share with you how to make No Bake Nutella Balls covered in chocolate with a few sprinkles to make them look festive. These were so delicious. I had a hard time not eating all of them myself. You can crush the graham crackers yourself, but I just purchased a box of crumbs.

Veal and Zucchini Mini Burgers

You wouldn't believe how much flavour you can add to your ground meat just by adding a packet of onion soup mix! I used Lipton brand. I'm not sure if other brands use such large pieces of dehydrated onion.

And of course, I added veggies to these mini burgers. I served them on lettuce but you can find slider buns all over the place these days. Only 4 ingredients in this recipe. It doesn't get any easier!

Whatever you do, you should know that adding salt to this recipe would be a bad idea. Onion soup mix has more than enough of it. 


Veal and Zucchini Mini Burgers
Makes 12 mini burgers

Ingredients
  • 1lb lean ground veal (or beef)
  • 1 packet dried onion soup mix
  • 1/2 cup grated sharp cheddar
  • 1 zucchini, grated and gently squeezed
Directions
  1. Use your hands to combine all of the ingredients well. Shape into 12 balls and flatten them to about 1/2". They'll get fatter and shrink while they cook.
  2. Heat a nonstick pan over medium high heat (closer to medium) and add a bit of cooking spray (or oil if you wish).
  3. Place the little burgers into the pan (maybe 6 at a time depending on the size of your pan) and cook for about 5 minutes per side or until golden and cooked through.
  4. I served mine on lettuce with some tzatziki (that I found in the fridge), avocado and tomato.
