Quick Fix: BLT burger, coleslaw perfect for Father’s Day (or anytime)
Linda Gassenheimer | Tribune News Service I was thinking about Father’s Day coming up. My husband loves to make a BLT sandwich for lunch. I added bacon, lettuce and fresh sliced tomatoes to a cooked burger to make a crunchy burger for his day — or it’s great for anytime you’re looking to add variety to your burger. Cooked bacon is easily available at the market sold in boxes. I like to crisp them up in a skillet and then use the same skillet to cook the burger patties. Helpful Hints: — You can find coleslaw mix in bags in the produce section, or you can use any shredded cabbage mixture. — If cooked bacon isn’t available, an easy way to cook bacon is in the microwave for 2 minutes. Countdown: — Make coleslaw and set aside. — Prepare burger ingredients. — Toast burger rolls. — Crisp bacon and then cook burger. Shopping List: To buy: 1 package whole wheat hamburger rolls, 1 box cooked bacon, 1/2 pound 95% lean ground beef, 1 small tomato, 1 head romaine lettuce, 1 jar reduced-fat mayonnaise, 1 bottle
