Cheesy Bacon Burgers with Onions & Peppers, plus More…

January 26, 2012 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 22 Comments

Hi Everyone,

Well Wednesday night I made the ultimate dinner!  This has been a dinner that has been on my mind for a couple of weeks and I finally made it.  The ultimate Cheesy Bacon Burger and a side of Sweet Potato Fries and of course my famous Spicy Chipotle Aiolo Sauce! Yum!!

Yes that’s one fat burger!!!  And I ate the whole thing!!

First thing I did was throw the ground beef in a bowl, added garlic powder and black pepper and mixed with my hands.  Then I split the burger into 8 2oz pieces.  I used my scale to measure them out.


Then I split my Swiss Laughing Cow Cheese Wedges in half and place half onto 4 pieces of the burger.

Then I put the other pieces of burgers on top, and flattened with my hand.  To make 4 4oz burgers.

Place the burgers on the grill.  Yah, I got to use the grill!  It stayed light out till about 5:30. I love it!  The days are getting longer!

Meanwhile I made my Spicy Chipotle Aiolo Sauce.  This is my favorite sauce.  It’s great on burgers, sandwiches, used as salad dressing and dipping sweet potato fries in.

It’s made with fat free mayo, Greek yogurt, lime juice, chipotle chiles in adobo, garlic and Cumin.  It’s so good!!!  I like to keep a batch in the fridge for topping on my meals!

Before I started anything, I started my Sweet Potato fries.  All I did was cut 1 medium potato into strips, spray with cooking spray, added pepper, cinnamon and a pinch of Cayenne Pepper.  Toss in a 400 degree oven for 30 minutes.

My dinner was the best!  Not the lowest calorie, but all healthy good things!  For the bacon on the burger, I used Trader Joe’s uncured turkey bacon.  I cooked it in a frying pan, like normal bacon.  It’s the closest Turkey Bacon that I could find to normal bacon.  If you like bacon, you need to try this one.  It’s only 30 calories a slice, even my Husband who is a bacon freak said it tasted ok (ok is good from him) and little Jenny said she didn’t notice a difference.

Spicy Chipotle Aiolo Sauce

Ingredients:

3 tablespoons fat free mayonnaise

3 tablespoons non fat plain Greek Yogurt

2 teaspoons chopped chipotle chiles in adobo

1 teaspoon minced garlic

1/2 teaspoon cumin

4 teaspoons fresh lime juice

Directions:

In a small bowl place all the ingredients together and wisk together until combined.

Makes 3/4 cups or 12 Tablespoons

Calories per Tablespoon:  6,  Fat:  0,  Cholesterol:  0,  Sodium:  34,  Potassium:  5.1,  Carbs:  .07,  Fiber:  0,  Sugar:  .03,  Protein:  .03

Not bad huh!  Where else can you find a sauce for 6 calories a tablespoon and tastes good?

Sweet Potato Fries

Ingredients:

1 medium sweet potato

Cooking Spray

1/4 tsp.  cinnamon

1/4 tsp.  black pepper

1 dash of Cayenne pepper

Directions:

Preheat oven to 400 degrees

Line parchment paper on baking sheet, set a side

Cut the sweet potato into strips.  Place on baking sheet.  Spray with cooking spray and add your spices.  Mix with your hands.  Place in the oven for 15 minutes.  Flip them over and bake for another 10 to 15 minutes until, slightly crisp.

Serves 1

Calories for 1 serving (I used 8 oz sweet potato):  193,  Fat: .01,  Cholesterol:  0,  Sodium:  122,  Potassium:  754,  Carbs:  45,  Fiber:  6.7,  Sugar:  9.5,  Protein:  3.5  and a bonus 636% Vitamin A!!!

Cheesy Bacon Burger with Onions and Peppers

Ingredients:

4 slices of turkey bacon, cooked

1 medium bell pepper, sliced into strips

1/2 medium onion, sliced into strips

2 wedges Laughing Cow Swiss Cheese

1 lbs of lean ground beef (96/4)

1/4 tsp. garlic powder

1/4 tsp ground pepper

4 whole wheat hamburger Buns

Directions:

In a pan cook turkey bacon according to directions on package.

Once bacon is done being cooked, take the bacon out and set aside.  Add bell pepper and onion into same pan, cook until tender about 10 minutes.

Add ground beef to a small bowl, add garlic powder and pepper, mix well.

Divide the raw meat into 8 equal pieces (I used my scale to measure into 2oz each piece). Flatten out the hamburger, and place 1/2 a cheese wedge onto each piece of hamburger. Take the other pieces of the hamburger and place on top of the cheese , and squish them togther and seal the edges so the cheese doesn’t ozzz out. Place on grill and cook until done. About 5 minutes per side.

Place burger on buns, top the burgers with bacon, peppers & onions and sauce.

Eat & Enjoy!

Makes 4 burgers

Calories per burger not including Chipotle Sauce and Roll:  212,  Fat:  6.4,  Cholesterol:  80, Sodium:  256,  Potassium:  101,  Carbs:  5.2,  Fiber:  1.4,  Sugar:  1.3,  Protein:  31.1

I would of taken a picture of the burger on the inside, but when I cut it, I smooshed it apart and it wasn’t pretty.  Don’t worry when you take a bite you’ll get an oooz of cheese.  So good!!!  If you want to get an idea, check out my Cheesy Stuffed Burger.

I hope you enjoyed my burger night!  I just needed a burger!  Do you ever get like that?  Normally I’ll eat my burger between Romaine Lettuce, but tonight I needed the bun and all.  I used Alvarado Street 100% Whole Wheat Sprouted Bun.  So good.  I also toasted my bun on the grill to make it a little crispy.  Yum!!  I’m so full!!!

Oh you’ll probably have left over onions and peppers, just place in them in the fridge and add them to eggs, sandwich or make a quesadilla with them.  That will be tomorrows lunch!

Have a wonderful day!!!

    Just connected to your site via Foodbuzz. My wife and I absolutely love stuffed burgers and sweet potato fries. Great recipe for the Aiolo sauce.

    Great site and stop on by mine if you have a chance. It’s a gluttonous combination of sports, food, etc. 🙂

    cheers,

    You have so many good looking recipes on this post. I normally don’t make burgers from scratch, but his recipe looks good. I buy the Laughing Cow cheese bulk at Costco so I always have on hand. Great idea on putting it in the burgers, makes it taste moist and add cheesy goodness.

      I just told my friend that you said they have Laughing Cow Cheese at Costcos and first thing she did is Google it. Laughing Cow is the new thing in our office, love the stuff!! The cheese is so good in burgers, especially the chipotle cheese wedge. You have to try it! I’ve done it with Turkey Burgers too, so good!

I just brought my hubby home from the hospital and we’re on a soft food ‘diet’ for a while…think I’m gonna have to make myself a burger and sweet tater fries without him knowing. =) Thanks for your nice comments at my blog. I appreciate every one of them.

Happy Tuesday! One thing you guys know about me is Happy Tuesday! One thing you guys know about me is that I love Target. It’s my happy place. I get so excited each season to see all the new things that come out. 
🌿
One thing I always love is there faux vase/pot flowers and plants. They are always so pretty and I want to buy them all. But there a couple of things that stops me. The biggest one is that I have no storage for them. Two, they seemed to have gone up in price. They seemed a little pricy to me. 
🌿
For my arrangement, I used one of my canisters for the bathroom. I used floral foam to stick the stems in and I used the paper towel as a filler because I only had very little bit of moss. If I had more moss and I would probably not use the paper towel. This arrangement cost me $5.99. 
🌿
Tip: If you look at Targets faux foliage stems only, they have a lot that are same of what use in there vases. The one I used was Hearth and Hand and was only $5.99 for a stem. The exact ones they used in there pots.
🌿
Hope you enjoy this as much as I have making it. 
Enjoy your day!

My husband decided to take vacation days this week, and my kitchen does not look so pretty. He has his 💩 everywhere. So annoying. 
💖
Here’s a little bit of the styling that I did. I will work on the coffee bar this weekend, though I’m running a blank on how to style it. I need some inspiration.

I’m sharing heart shaped cinnamon rolls that I made this weekend. I got the idea to make them from my friend Heidi @eleanorrosehome. She made the most delicious looking cinnamon rolls, that I couldn’t resist to make. So perfect for Valentines Day and sooooo easy! 
❤️
I took a can of Trader Joe’s cinnamon rolls and unraveled them, if that makes sense, and rolled them up like a palmier cookie. So fun! You could add food coloring to the frosting to make it pink and add sprinkles. Super cute! You can follow step by step recipe on Heidi’s Instagram page! 
❤️
Thank you Heidi for sharing the recipe. This was so fun!
❤️
Would you rather get chocolate or flowers for Valentines Day?

I’m sharing with you my corner of my living room. I love how open this space looks. I added greenery to give it a fresh look. I also stuck with mostly natural colors with an exception of some blues to bring my whole living room together.

Tomorrow I am going to start to share Valentines Day. My dining room is filling up with hearts. It’s so fun. I can’t wait to start sharing. Hope you have a beautiful day!
