Instructions
Hamburgers
- Gently mix beef and egg whites, until combined. (Do not over mix.) Form into 4 patties. Sprinkle with garlic and pepper. (Save salt until after they’re cooked, to preserve moisture.) Grill 1 minute per side or until the patties are browned on both sides. Move patties to warming shelf. Continue to cook on low heat 6-10 minutes or until burgers have reached desired doneness. Arrange patties on buns. Top with your desired toppings. (For a bacon cheeseburger, for example, arrange cheese and bacon on patties, with tomatoes and lettuce.)
Sweet Potato Chili Fries
- Combine potato wedges and olive oil in large bowl. Add spices. Toss to coat well. Add potato wedges in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake at 400 for 45 minutes or until soft and beginning to brown. Turn broiler on and broil an additional 3 minutes.
Apple Slaw
- Combine first 6 ingredients in a small bowl. Whisk until well combined. Combine remaining ingredients in a medium bowl. Toss well. Pour vinegar mixture over coleslaw.
