Description

All the flavor of the most famous burger in the world, without the weight problems that can come with it. It’s all about that special sauce right? That’s a cinch when you use our Thousand Island Dressing on page 472. Now the whole family can sit down to the taste of fast food for dinne,r but you don’t have to fret about the health consequences. Do you have children who don’t want to eat salad? What a great way for children to learn to get addicted to salad with this yumminess like this. This recipe is found in the "Family Salads" section of our Trim Healthy Mama Cookbook. This is a family-size recipe that will serve 6 to 8 people.

Ingredients
  • 2 lbs ground beef (thawed)
  • 1/2 cup water (or beef broth) (or bone stock pg 495-496)
  • 1 1/2 Tbs Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp TH Mineral Salt
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 1 large onion (finely diced)
  • 1 Tbs butter
  • 3 large heads romaine lettuce (shredded or rough chopped)
  • 3 tomatoes (3 or 4, roughly chopped)
  • 8 oz cheddar cheese (grated or finely shredded)
  • 3 dill pickles (3 or 4, finely chopped) (or 1/3 cup dill relish)
  • Thousand Island Dressing recipe (p. 472)
  • 1/4 cup sesame seeds
Instructions
  1. 1
    Brown the meat in a large skillet over medium-high heat, about 10 minutes, then pour off any excess fat. Add the water, Worcestershire sauce, paprika, salt, and pepper.
  2. 2
    In a separate smaller skillet, sauté the onion in the butter until translucent.
  3. 3
    Assemble individual salad bowls by layering first the lettuce, then the meat, then the onion, then the tomatoes, cheese, and pickles, and then the Thousand Island Dressing. Top with the sesame seeds and Blendtons (page 476), if desired. (Or just layer in one big bowl and let people serve themselves.)
Note

From page 181 ~Trim Healthy Mama Cookbook...

"For the sake of ease, we brown the ground beef here rather than make patties. It’s just quicker, yet still tastes great in this salad.  If you prefer to use beef patties in your salad for a more authentic burger experience, go ahead. You’ll want to slice them up into bite sized pieces once cooked."
