Bacon Cheeseburger

Take out:

We all love the bacon cheeseburger but with almost 1000 calories & 60 or more grams of fat I think Carl Jr. should keep Jack in his box. These burgers can range from 17-24 Weight Watcher Points. We have a healthier option for you.

Fake out:
We start with a great find; sirloin burgers by Philly Gourmet. These burgers are really lean (96%). They have half the fat of lean turkey burgers. I don't know about you but I prefer the taste of lean beef to lean turkey any day. Cook 'em up the way you like (BBQ, non-stick pan, Foreman grill) and put one Luis Rich turkey bacon slice in the microwave for one minute. Slice up some onions, tomatoes, pickles & lettuce while burger cooks. When done put burger in sesame seed Martins potato roll which is loaded with fiber (6g), top with Borden low fat cheese slice, bacon and a generous portion of fixens. Try this with Chili Cheese Fries.
