Slimming World Cheeseburgers

Healthy Turkey or Mince Cheeseburgers

These burgers really do taste delicious and you would never ever believe that they where as healthy as they are because they taste that good. The great thing about these burgers is the cheese is hidden inside the burgers so when you bite into it you get that lovely extra creamy surprise.  If following slimming world and on the Extra Easy Plan and you use the cheese and muffin as an "a and b" choice then this recipe is free. 

Ingredients for Burger 

Turkey Lean Mince (1 pack from lidels will make 3 - 4 burgers)

seasoning of choice - salt, pepper, garlic salt or chilli pepper

Worcester Sauce - Good sprinkle off

Mix mince with your hands and all ingredients except the cheese. Roll into a burger shape then place one baby bell inside each burger. Ensure the mince covers all the cheese both front and back. Then place cling-film tightly round the burgers and put in freezer for later or rest in fridge to chill if having later. 

Server on a  brown bap or bun with plenty of salad, onions and tomato. Use thick yogurt dip or quark to spread on bread so as not to taste to dry. Serve with either slimming world chips, as it is or salad and relish. 

Juicy cheeseburgers

Slimming World Steak and Mash

Steak & Mash

This simple dish is full of super-foods and easy to make but very very tasty. If you are using steak you have a lot of choices, ie; rump, sirloin, ribeye... the choice is up to you however if using ribeye which in my opinion is the tastiest of steaks then you may need to add a few syns as ribeye does have some fat in the middle of it. 

Ingredients

For the potatoes

2 maris piper potatoes

2 carrots

2 cloves garlic

fresh dill

2 spring onion

Veg

Red pepper

sugar snap peas

mushrooms

sw coleslaw made from shredded carrots and cabbage

Crush the stock cube and rub onto the steak. Fry steak to your liking then add to the pan sugar snap peas and mushrooms sprayed with a little fry light.  Leave steak to rest.
