Meatloaf Burgers and "Potato Salad" Oven Fries

I have become a lover of potato salad with my burgers but it can be very fattening. I came up with these two recipes to still enjoy things I like but make it a bit healthier. The meat is leaner and the potato salad dressing has become a dipping sauce. Enjoy!

Meatload Burgers

Serves 4

Meat Mixture
1lb ground sirloin or 96/4 ground beef
1 piece of bread, broken up (I use Aunt Millies Light Whole Grain)
1 large egg, beaten
1/4 cup ketchup
1/4 cup chopped onions
1/4 cup chopped green pepper
1 teaspoon seasoned salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Topping (Optional)
1 tablespoon light brown sugar
2 tablespoons ketchup
1 teaspoon yellow mustard

Preheat grill to medium-high. Make topping and set aside. Mix all ingredients for meat mixture. Form into 4 hamburger patties. Cook on grill, to tase. When the first side is ready, flip. Brush on the topping at this point. Continue to cook until done. Serve on a bun if desired. We do not use buns.


"Potato Salad" Oven Fries

Serves 4

Fries
4 medium potatoes, cut into 1/4 inch thick wedges
1 teaspoon seasoned salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspon garlic salt
1/2 chili powder
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1 tablespoon olive oil
cooking spray

"Potato Salad" Dipping Sauce
1/4 cup miracle whip light or light mayo
1/2 cup light sour cream
2 tablespoons yellow mustard
2 tablespoons milk
1 teaspoon celery seed or 1/2 teaspoon celery powder
1/2 teaspoon dry dill
1/2 teaspoon paprika
dash salt
dash pepper

Preheat oven to 400. Mix together ingredients for dipping sauce and store in the refrigerator. For the fries, spray a large cookie sheet with cooking spray. Place potatoes in a ziplock bag. Pour remaining ingredients on top. Shake back until wedges are completely coated. Put potatoes on cookie sheet in one flat layer. Back for 15 minutes. Stir and bake for 10 minutes longer, until golden brown. Eat the fries with the dipping sauce, along side your burger.
