Beef Stock Makes Mealtime EasyJust because you’re low on time doesn’t mean you can’t make a quick and healthy meal for your family. With a little planning and some help from concentrated beef stock, you can ensure your family has a hot and delicious meal that doesn’t require tipping the delivery guy!homemade chili on stoveFrench Dip Burgers

Serves 4

Ingredients: 1 tub Knorr Homestyle Stock -- beef1 pound ground beef (or turkey)1-1/2 cups water4 whole-wheat hamburger buns4 slices Swiss cheeseDirections:
    Combine half the stock with the ground meat and shape into 4 patties. Make a small indent in the top of the patties; they will fatten as they cook.Grill, broil or saute the burgers (flipping only once) until they're done (5 or 6 minutes on each side).While the burgers are cooking, bring the water and remaining stock to a boil over high heat in a 1-quart saucepan.Reduce the heat to low and simmer the sauce until the stock has completely melted.Top the burgers with cheese immediately after removing them from the heat to allow it to melt; arrange the burgers on the buns.Serve each burger with 1/4 of the sauce in a small bowl on the side. (Try the next recipe as a substitute for fries on the side!)
