Burger King/Hungry Girl Recipe

So if you follow weight watchers at all then you know who hungry girl is. Well I recently saw the recipe for the A1 Steakhouse burger swap and I was defintly interested in trying it especially since it sounded so easy. Well I must admit it was pretty darn good. Here is the recipe....

Ingredients:
1/4 cup thinly sliced onion
1 tbsp. fat-free liquid egg substitute (like Egg Beaters Original)
1/4 cup Fiber One bran cereal (original)
1/4 tsp. onion powder, or more to taste
Dash each salt and black pepper, or more to taste
1 Arnold Sandwich Thin
1 Boca Original Vegan Meatless Burger
1 slice fat-free American cheese
1/2 tbsp. A.1. Thick & Hearty Steak Sauce
2 slices tomato
2 small lettuce leaves
Optional: fat-free mayonnaise

Directions:
Place onion "strings" in a bowl and cover with egg substitute. Toss to coat and set aside.

Using a blender or food processor, grind cereal to a breadcrumb-like consistency. Transfer crumbs to a plastic container with an airtight lid or a sealable plastic bag. Add seasonings (use extra, if you like) and mix well.

Remove onion strings from the egg substitute, shake gently to remove excess liquid, and transfer to the container/bag with the seasoned crumbs. Cover or seal and shake until onion strings are completely coated in crumbs.

Bring a skillet sprayed with nonstick spray to medium-high heat on the stove. Evenly disperse crumb-coated onion strings in the skillet. (Discard excess crumbs -- you'll only use about half.) Flipping occasionally with a spatula, cook for about 5 minutes, until slightly browned and softened.

Prepare Boca patty according to package instructions.
Split roll in half and, if you like, lightly toast. Place patty over the bottom half of the roll, and top with cheese.
Spread A.1. sauce over the cheese. Top with crispy onion strings, tomato, and lettuce. If you like, spread the inside of the roll's top half with mayo. Finish off your burger with the top half of the roll. Now CHEW!

MAKES 1 SERVING
Serving Size: 1 burger (entire recipe)
POINTS® value 4*

My review is that it is pretty darn good. I did not have the fiber one cereal so I simply used flour. I do not recommend this. It was ok tasting but I bet it would have been even better with the fiber one cereal. I also didn't have any tomato slices. I did opt to put fat free miracle whip on just for added flavor. I also didn't have the onion powder so I used the Cajun seasonings you see in the picture below. Also if you are totally against the Boca Burger then try using an extra lean ground beef or ground turkey and just add on a new points/calories. So go ahead and enjoy this....
