I really like "Hungry Girl" recipes. For those of you not familiar with her, she "healthifies" (yes, a HHM word!) regular recipes, restaurant faves, etc. She has some great ideas and some great recipes. You can check her out here: http://www.hungry-girl.com/ . I have most of her cookbooks and love them. This recipe came from her book "Hungry Girl: To The Max". Who doesn't love a Bacon Cheeseburger? How about one that is only 205 calories (patty only) and 5 PPV? Even better, right?
Ingredients:
4 oz. raw extra-lean ground beef
dash each of salt and pepper
1 Tbsp. precooked real crumbled bacon
1 wedge The Laughing Cow Light Creamy Swiss Cheese
Directions:
Season beef with salt and pepper. Add bacon and knead to evenly distribute. Form into a ball and make a large hollow indentation with your thumb (past the center but not all the way through).
Fill the hole with cheese wedge and squeeze meat to seal, enclosing cheese. Flatten slightly into a thick patty.
Bring a grill pan (or skillet) sprayed with nonstick spray to medium-high heat. Cook patty for 4-8 minutes per side, until cooked to your preference. Enjoy!
(HHM note: I usually buy a pound of the beef and make 4 patties, then freeze the extra 3 for later. I also use a sandwich thin rather than a regular hamburger bun and top with lots of veggies!)
