Notes
- Family rule (fish): Worcestershire sauce is made with anchovies. It is not shellfish, but it is fish. To be safe, use a fish-free (vegan) Worcestershire sauce, or a splash of soy sauce.
- From the family list: about 30 min, ~122 cal for the meat only. Hidden carrot and mushroom. Small amount of red pepper, optional. Serve on whole wheat buns.
