Healthy Homemade Burgers Slimming Style, naked, with bun – whatever!!!

Oh I love Burger & Chips – do you? And I especially love healthy homemade burgers slimming style 🙂

It’s not the first thing we think of when we are trying to be healthy is it?Can burgers be healthy? Well they certainly can be made in a healthier way

Well let me tell you beef burgers, made the right way with a few tweaks here and there – are fine!!! And super filling

It’s all about balance and it’s all about enjoying your food and your family enjoying it too!

So make this a fun evening and treat it as a perfect takeaway – yum

So let’s talk Healthy Homemade Burgers

I love to make beef burgers myself, as they are so tasty and you are totally in control of what goes into them.

None of those weird ingredients you see on the back off pack of those bought ones. Have you ever looked? Scary sounding stuff

And homemade burgers are also super easy to make – like really!

How to make a homemade healthy burger

I always buy a good quality minced beef and if you’re keeping it healthy (and following the slimming style diet) make sure you buy the minced beef that’s <5% Fat

I pop the beef in a bowl and then. season and mix with my fingers (full recipe at the bottom of the post)

AND I also like to add a little surprise to the centre 🙂

I hide a light Baby Bell Cheese in the middle, simply mould the beef around the cheese – ensuring it is totally encased

Cooking your Homemade healthy beef burger

Now this is an area of personal choice

I tend to dry fry mine between 5-6 minutes each side – this cooks them through

If you like a rarer burger (more juicy) cut the time down by a minute or two

With real homemade burgers it’s a bit like your steak – some like it well-done some don’t

Just make sure you are careful with anyone susceptible – cooking through is probably sensible

So let’s talk Burger Buns / or no buns

You can use whatever you like

I use a brown wholemeal roll 60g

Or a Warburton thin? it’s nice and sometimes I toast it too

Naked Burger

If you are being really good you can use 2 Portobello Mushrtooms – baked in the oven

You can use these mushrooms to form the ‘bun’

You will possibly need to use a knife and folk to eat your Naked Burger – messy

What can you add as toppings to your burgers?

Well you can add anything you like really?

If you’re trying to be healthy or doing it slimming style I would recommend:

Salad leaves
Tomato slices
Onion Slices
Bacon Medalions, cooked
Low Fat mayo
Extra Cheese (Healthy A)
Gherkins
Mustard
Horseradish
Cucumber

Family Burger night?

What I tend to do is make the burgers and the chips and pop all the fillings on the side.

Then I let everyone construct their own burger

We love it!! Have a go – winning!!
