Bacon Cheeseburgers

Food Category: PG
Difficulty: Easy

These were made with 1/4 pound of ground sirloin (pan grilled), pepper jack & cheddar and two slices of center cut bacon. I think I might have squeezed enough lettuce & spinach on my burger to count as a veggie serving. The burgers were built on onion rolls & served with individual bags of chips & raw veggies. My guess is that the entire meal is around 800-900 calories - not horribly bad in the scheme of things.

A note on the bacon . . . a 3 slice serving of cooked center cut bacon is only 60 calories. Yes, most of that is fat, but that's a lot of flavor for not many calories. Just something to consider if you are cutting back.

I'll remind you of this again in January.
