In large bowl break up ground sirloin. With fingers add 1/2 of veggie mixture. Combine well without over working the meat. Add a little more of the mixture at a time to the meat making sure it does not get too wet.

Form patties as usual and grill or cook on stove 4 minutes on each side for medium rare.

Cooks Notes: I wish I would have thought of this years ago as my daughter is not a veggie eater. Hamburger night feels better when you know the veggies are already mixed in. Let me know what you think?
