CB-Oh Yeah!
McDonald's latest specialty burger has
been calling our name! So we got to work
on a guilt-free makeover, and here it is
now...
Ingredients:
1 tbsp. fat-free mayonnaise
1/2 tsp. spicy brown mustard
1 slice center-cut bacon or turkey bacon
1/3 cup thinly sliced onion cut into 2-inch
strips
1 Boca Original Vegan Meatless Burger
1 slice 2% milk cheddar cheese
One 100-calorie flat sandwich bun (like
Arnold/Brownberry/Oroweat Sandwich
Thins )
Directions:
In a small bowl, mix mayo with mustard
until uniform.
Cook bacon until crispy, either in a skillet
over medium heat or on a microwave-safe
plate in the microwave. (See package for
cook time.)
Place onion in a skillet sprayed with
nonstick spray. Add 1/4 cup water, cover,
and set heat to medium. Cook for 6
minutes.
Uncover, and cook and stir until water has
evaporated and onion has softened and
lightly browned, about 3 minutes.
Transfer onion to a small bowl, and cover
to keep warm.
If needed, clean skillet. Remove from
heat, re-spray, and return to medium
heat. Cook burger patty for about 4
minutes per side, until cooked through.
Top patty with cheese and cook until
melted, about 45 seconds.
Split bun into halves, and place the
cheese-topped patty on the bottom half.
Break bacon in half, and place over the
patty. Top with cooked onion.
Spread the top half of the bun with mayo
mixture, and place it over the onion. Eat
up!
