This is a great alternative to hamburger in recipes. I usually serve meals with 1 lb ground chuck and 1 lb container of bulgur burger.
Recipe:
- 2 cups bulgur wheat
- 1 cup water
- 1 cup tomato juice
- 1/2 onion, cut in pieces
- 1 clove garlic
- 1 cup pecans
- 2 T molasses
- 2 T taco seasoning
- 1/2 tsp salt
Place bulgur in pot. Blend all other ingredients in blender until smooth. Mix all ingredients together. Cook over medium heat for 15 minutes, stirring constantly. Let sit for an hour with lid on.
This freezes well.

This sounds like a great way to stretch the beef. Is this the recipe for a pound, or a different amount? Thanks!
I have always doubled, tripled my recipe and never kept track of how much I make. The bulgur sort of “puffs” up a little. So I would say it makes about 3 cups for every 2 cups of bulgur that you use. Hope that helps. Amy

I am a mom to 8 children, and this sounds like a great way to stretch our ground beef. Do you mix it in with your ground beef or do you use it alone? Also, where do you purchase bulgur wheat?
Thank you so much for sharing!
Blessings to you and your sweet family!
I used to make it and put it in my freezer containers. When I needed to use ground beef, I would add one container of the bulgur and one container of meat. It helped stretch it. I am not sure where you are going to find it. I used to get mine in bulk at an Amish store and have since moved down south and see it occasionally. Like watch in cereal or grain isles when you are shopping:) I hope you find some.
