Cheeseburger In Paradise

Cheeseburger In Paradise

Ingredients:

4 ounces Ground Beef (I used Debbie Moran’s 4% lean 96/4)
2 ounces Pork Tenderloin, ground (ground with our meat grinder, if you don’t happen to find extra lean ground pork)
1 slice of high fiber bread (2 slices for 1POINT* – Nature’s Own.. my new fav)
1 cup of lo-sodium beef stock
2 tablespoons of EggBeaters, egg substitute
2 teaspoons stone ground mustard
2 teaspoons dried onion flakes
1/4 teaspoon garlic salt
1/4 teaspoon paprika (we like smokey hungarian paprika)
Sea Salt and Fresh Ground Pepper
2 Whole Grain Oroweat Sandwich Thins
4 slices of Kraft Fat Free Sharp Cheddar Cheese Slices

Directions:

Because I was striving for the lowest fat content meats and didn’t want to run all over town to find an extra lean ground pork.. we just bought a very nice natural pork tenderloin and ran it through our meat grinder (too all of 2 minutes..) to come up with a great low fat option to add to what I found on sale.. Debbie Moran’s 4% fat.. 96/4 lean ground beef.  By the way.. the seasoning blend and meat mixture is a popular German-style burger (hense the paprika!!).. I just lightened up the fat contents in the meats. This is definately a juicy tasty (non greasy!! burger)

In a small bowl put the beef stock and bread slice in it. Moisten the bread and break it up. Squeeze the moisture out of the bread with your hand and now in a second bowl add the bread “crumbs” to the ground meats. Add egg beaters, mustard, onion flakes, garlic salt, and paprika. Mix well. Form into two equal sized “ginormous” patties.

Heat your nonstick skillet sprayed lightly with nonstick cooking spray to a medium to medium/high. Place patties in skillet. Salt/Pepper. Turn after 3-4 minutes.. Repeat. Do not overcook, but cook until at least 160° internal temp. Turn off heat. Place chesse slices onto burger which will warm and melt very quickly. Remove from pan to toasted bun. Serve with Fresh lettuce, red onion slices, and tomato slices.
