This is SO not a failure! It was one of the best “healthy” burgers I’ve had. I cooked mine on the stovetop, and did the fries in the oven. It definitely fulfilled my burger craving. Thanks!

I acutally made this (kinda) last night before I read your post. My burgers were made on the stovetop- at the husband’s request. For the fries, the only thing I did differently is instead of using non-stick spray, I put some olive oil in to a ramekin and used a brush to brush it on the potatoes lightly. I love the flavor of real olive oil on roasted veggies. I think the recipe looks great!

Nancy – I don’t feel comfortable estimating salt as I never measure how much I use. When I do use it, like in the fries above, I just say “kosher salt” allowing you to decide how much to add for your taste and health reasons.

I hope you understand. It’s great suggestion I’m just not quite there yet. :)

How about analyzing for salt in the recipes and showing this too? We all eat too much of it. We have heart disease and high blood pressure in our families so we are cutting back and also trying to teach the kids to use less of it. Most of your recipes should be pretty good. I think they recommend 1500 mg/day and max 2400 mg/day….

Hey Roni- You should try doing foil-pack burgers in the oven. Marinate the meat and shape into patties. Then, place patty on foil and put a few onion slices on top. Fold up the sides of the foil and then roll the other sides up–there should be no openings for air….the burgers steam and stay moist. Cook for about 40-45 min on 350. We always do another foil pack of frozen veggies (broc, cauli, carrots) and put a little Dale’s seasoning over them. They come out perfectly steamed too! Each person gets a foil-pack patty and a pack of veggies.

It sure sounds like a great idea! I was just having a hamburger debate with my hubby tonight (I apparently don’t cook meat in patty form often enough for his liking) – so this recipe came at the perfect time! :)

Ryan and his trees in his belly – LOL :)
