George Foreman’s PowerBurger
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 vegeta-
bles 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 whop-
ping 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.
1/2 cup chopped vegetables such as yellow onions, 
green onions, zucchini, parsley (can be sautéed)
1/2 cup seasoned bread crumbs
1 1/2 lbs. 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 eight 3-inch wide patties.
•Preheat the Grilling Machine. Place two patties on the grill at a time.
Close the Lid.
•Cook for 4 - 5 minutes or until the meat is no longer pink and the
juices run clear, turning once. Repeat with the remaining patties
•Yield: Serves 8
This recipe is from The Healthy Gourmet (Clarkson Potter) by Cherie
Calbom.
