Ingredients




Ground Beef

3/4 pound lean (93 or 95 percent lean) ground beef
1/4 cup Egg Beaters or other egg substitute
3 tablespoons Panko or other bread crumb
2 inches chipotle peppers  adobo, minced
1 clove garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon salt
4 slices red onion
8 tablespoons salsa
4 Arnolds Rounds or other multi-grain bun

Preparation

1 Combine first six ingredients in a large bowl, shape into four patties. 2 Heat a skillet sprayed with non-stick over medium-high heat. Cook burgers until done (160F internal temperature) about 5 minutes a side. 3 Top with cheese (if desired), one onion slice and two tablespoons salsa.

About


Smokey, zesty, and juicy, the burger, onion and 2 tablespoons of salsa (not including bun and cheese) is only 157 calories, with 5 grams of fat and 1 of fiber. I serve it on an Arnold's Round with a slice of reduced fat cheddar. Baked fries and an empty-the-veggie-drawer chop salad rounded it all out.
