How To Make Award Winning 200 Calorie Beef Burgers

My favorite summertime BBQ food is burgers. I tend to watch my red meat intake so sometimes it can be difficult. I tried making chicken or turkey burgers and it just was not the same. So instead I started purchasing the 90/10 ground beef and ground pork, cut down on the size of the burgers. To keep my family happy I made it fun, I called them sliders just like you can get at the restaurants. Instead of hamburger buns I used high fiber wheat dinner rolls, spinach instead of lettuce and low fat cheese. The health benefits are significant and my family does not feel as though they are eating a “healthy” burger.
