George Foreman® 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-sized 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

George Foreman® 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
