Dinner was Delicious!

So tonight we had a BBQ. We had Blue Cheese Burgers (mine minus the blue cheese, add sliced cheese), baked beans, and BBQ corn on the cob. It was so delicious! I skipped the beans and had 2 corn on the cobs. We buttered them, sprinkled some garlic salt on them, roll them in alluminum foil and put on the BBQ for about 20 minutes. So good!!

So here is my favorite GI recipe so far:

Blue Cheese Burgers

1 lb very lean ground beef or ground turkey
¼ cup finely chopped onion
1 celery, thinly chopped
½ tsp. dried oregano
1 tsp. Dijon mustard
¼ cup crumbled blue cheese or fav cheese

1. Preheat the broiler on high or prepare BBQ

2. Mix ground beef, onion, celery, Dijon mustard, oregano, salt and pepper in large bowl. Use hands to mix together thoroughly.

3. Divide mixture into 8 equal portions. Place 4 on a cutting board and flatten each.

4. Place crumbled blue cheese in the center of the 4 flattened patties.

5. Flatten remaining 4 potions and place on top of blue cheese patties. Mold together, enclosing crumbled blue cheese, and shape into 4 burgers.

6. Broil for 10 minutes or until cooked, turning once or BBQ

Serve on a lettuce leaf with tomato and dill pickle.
Replace the bun with a salad, red and green pepper rings, or baked sweet potato sticks.
