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.
1 slightly beaten egg white
1/3 cup finely chopped onion
1/4 cup seasoned bread crumbs
1/4 cup diced green chili peppers
1 clove (large) garlic, finely minced
2 tbsp. snipped fresh cilantro
1 tbsp. apple cider vinegar
1-1/2 tsp. chili powder
1/4 tsp. sea salt
1/8 tsp. cayenne pepper
1/2 lb. lean ground beef
• In a medium size mixing bowl, combine the egg white, onion, bread
crumbs, green chili peppers, garlic, cilantro, vinegar, chili powder, salt
and cayenne pepper. Add the ground beef and mix well.
• Shape the mixture into eight 3-inch wide patties.
• Preheat the grill for 3 - 5 minutes and place the patties two at a time.
• Close the lid and cook for 5 minutes or until the meat is no longer pink
and the juices run clear, turning once or twice.
• Yield: 8 patties

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
