That looks delicious! Do you deliver?

yum, I will try this with ground turkey and turkey bacon.

Thanks

sounds good but high in fat maybe?? Beef, whole eggs, cheese... Do you have the calorie, fat info. (If I wasn't so lazy I could probably figure it out.) Anyway it does sound good!

Yes, I was thinking of replacing the beef with white meat ground turkey and the bacon could also be turkey, egg beaters to replace the whole eggs, reduced calorie cheese(because I will die before I use fat free cheese :thumbup: but I can't think of a mayo replacement.

And to the original bander that offered up this great recipe please don't take offense that I just disected it.

NOOOO I didnt take any offence... I thought that I had changed that! lol I was going to change it to ground turkey and turkey bacon and low cal cheese, the olive oil mayo is low cal already.. Like I said I hadnt tried to make it yet I just saw it and thought it looked good...:thumbup:

Sounds delicious! Cant wait to try it.

I made this tonight for dinner. I used the olive oil mayo and egg beaters. Now I went the real route on the bacon bits and I used asiago cheese but only 4 oz. It gave it a wonderful flavor.. This recipe rocked !!!

I paired it with fresh cooked spinach with toasted pine nuts and garlic.

Thanks for sharing it :smile:

sounds delicious. I'm trying it!!!

I regularly substitute fat free evaporated milk in my quiches instead of half and half with very good results. That's another way to cut down some of the fat in the recipe.

Any nutritional info or where could I put the recipe in to calculate it?

Thanks much =)

Sounds great. I will substitute ground bison for the beef. It is healthier than beef. Has very little fat, doesn't shrink up because of that. Has fewer calories than beef. Taste better than ground turkey. Draw back is it is pricey. My kids are good to me. they buy it for me. 1 lb is 2-4 meals depending on what I use it for. It's just me so it averages out to about $1.25 per meal for me for the bison. I want to try the bison hotdogs. But they aren't sold in the stores around here. Olive oil mayo rocks. love that stuff. I don't use low fat cheese except swiss. The rest is full flavor. The evaporated milk is good or also mix it with powder milk. Just use a little less. Can't waite to try this recipe.

If you make the recipe with the turkey bacon, 93% lean ground beef, 2% cheddar cheese and the fat free evaporated milk and cut it into 8 slices, you would have 155 calories and 6 grams of fat per serving which is very good for such a tasty dish.

All I did to get this information was to go to www.dailyplate.com and click on create a meal and then list all the ingredients and then click on it to add to my plate which then shows the total calories and total fat grams. You just divide that into the number of servings to get the nutritional value for the recipe.

Enjoy and thanks for sharing the recipe. Linda

Oh, forgot, that nutritional information I used above was using egg beaters original as well, not eggs. Linda

This recipe does sound awesome. I loveeeee cheeseburgers so this will be a great substitute! 2% cheese is what I use. I've used it for years and love it.
