  Jamie&kids- Taste of Home
  ·         1 egg
  ·         1/2 cup soft bread crumbs
  ·         1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  ·         1/2 teaspoon pepper
  ·         1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
  ·         1 pound ground beef
  ·         1 tablespoon olive oil
  ·         1 cup sliced fresh mushrooms
  ·         2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  ·         1 cup chicken broth
  ·         1 tablespoon ketchup
  ·         1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  ·         Hot cooked gemelli or spiral pasta
  In a large bowl, combine the egg, bread crumbs, Italian seasoning, pepper and garlic. Crumble beef over mixture and mix well. Shape into four patties.
  ·         In a large skillet, cook patties in oil over medium-high heat for 5-7 minutes on each side or until a meat thermometer reads 160° and juices run clear. Remove and keep warm.
  ·         Drain, reserving 2 tablespoons drippings. Saute mushrooms in drippings until tender. Stir in flour until blended. Gradually stir in the broth, ketchup and Worcestershire sauce. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened.
  Return patties to the skillet. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 3-4 minutes or until heated through. Serve with gemelli. Yield: 4 servings

For the Kale I just melted some butter and put fresh garlic and mushrooms in, cooked that for a few minutes and then put in the fresh kale. Cooked it to the point of warm and crisp. Didnt cook it for too long as I didnt want it too soft.
