Last night for dinner, I wanted a bunless cheeseburger, but didn't want my SO to scoff about not having bread on top and bottom of his burger. I made Pizza Wheels instead. My dad used to make this when I was growing up

Pizza Wheels 1 large egg, beaten
1 1/4lbs lean ground beef
Seasonings to taste (Pizza Seasoning, garlic powder, dehydrated onion flakes, red pepper flakes)
1/4 c. of starch (such as bread crumbs, crackers, crushed sugar-free cereal,... I used instant mashed potatoes)
1 small can of tomato sauce
Hormel Turkey Pepperoni
Hormel Real Bacon Pieces
Kraft Shredded Fat-Free Mozzerella Cheese

NOTE: Of course you can use any toppings you have on hand... sausage, green pepper, onions, etc.)


Beat egg, and fold in ground beef with seasoning, add 1/4 c. instant mashed potatoes or other starch. Make 5 equal size balls of ground beef and then flatten the middle and build up the sides so they are twice the height of the center... similiar to a wall around it or a pie crust.

Bake these for 20 minutes in a 350 degree, take them out of the oven and then season the tomato sauce with pizza seasoning and red pepper flakes and pour some in each cavity of the burger-wheels.

Cut the pepperonis into smaller pieces and place them on top of the sauce, add the bacon bits and cover them in Fatfree Mozzerella Cheese. Bake these for another 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the side at the bottom comes out with clear juices.

Everyone in my family thought they were delicious!

Thanks for sharing, Ren!!  Do you use the starch simply as a binder?  I might try this, but add some seasoned ricotta cheese (cause it's all about the protein!!) and then top it with the sauce, extras, etc.

I'll try it on my guinea pigs and let you know!

I do use it as a binder, yes. Didn't think about the seasoned ricotta! That sounds extra yummy!!

Let me know how they like it!

Well, I can tell you that my brother will love it.  I swear I could put melted cheese on dog kibble and he'd eat it, thankful for a hot meal!!

Since it tastes like pizza, K will love it, too.

B, without having even tried it, will wrinkle his nose and say, "Yuck!" 

LMAO!!

Not on Sugar Alcohols...too many caused issues pre-surgery.  The most I've had is 14g in a day, 7g at a time many hours apart.

I meant on real chocolate...

Oops...just realized the chocolate part was in your signature line.
