George Foreman ® Power Burger
A flavorful hamburger that we think tastes even better than its all-meat cousin!
It pays to eat meals that minimize meat. To reduce saturated fat in a typical
burger, you can cut back on the amount of meat and make up for it with
plant-based ingredients. Bread crumbs and chopped vegetables have been
added in this recipe. You could also try cooked rice, other grains or cereal.
In addition, choose whole wheat buns; they typically contain one less fat gram
than regular or even reduced-calorie buns.
If you settle for nothing less than a cheeseburger, Swiss cheese is 1 gram lower
in fat than Cheddar, American or Monterey Jack with 8 grams of fat versus
9 in each ounce of cheese. However, reduced fat cheeses like Cheddar or Swiss
contain half the fat with 4 grams per ounce. Mustard contains 1 gram of fat per
tablespoon versus a whopping 11 grams of fat in a tablespoon of mayonnaise.
Top your burger in healthful style with dark, leafy green lettuce, shredded
cabbage, fresh cilantro, basil or spinach.
1/4 cup chopped vegetables such as yellow onions, green onions, zucchini,
parsley (can be sautéed)
1/4 cup seasoned bread crumbs
3/4 lb. lean ground beef
• In a medium size mixing bowl, combine the vegetables and bread crumbs.
Add the ground beef and mix well.
• Shape the mixture into four 4-inch wide patties.
• Preheat the grill for 3 - 5 minutes and place the patties on the grill two
at a time.
• Close the lid and cook for 5 - 6 minutes or until the meat is no longer pink and
the juices run clear, turning once.
Yield: Serves 4

George Foreman ® Sausage Texas Style
A spicy sausage with true Southwestern zip! These breakfast sausages are
great served with a sautéed vegetable or fresh salsa and egg scramble. Buy 90%
lean ground beef for the least-fat sausage. Ninety percent lean beef has 9 grams
of fat with 4 of those grams being saturated fat; whereas 73% lean beef has
18 grams of fat with 7 of the grams being saturated.
