Caesars Burger – Low Carb WLS Recipe

 

Low Carb Caesar Burger - Weight Loss Surgery Recipes

It’s is SO grilling season! What’s everyone been up to!? Burgers, asparagus, zucchini, kabobs…and even meatloaf have graced their presence on our grill. And it. is. awesome. Leave a comment below to share what you been grillin.’

Tonight is the second time I have made these burgers in the past month. For me to repeat a meal…well, that’s sayin’ sumthin.  Very quick to put together (I got home form work at 5:45 and was eating by 6:20pm!) and yet with so much creativity in the flavor.

Just like any burger I create- I use whatever lean ground meat is on sale. I used beef tonight but had grilled chicken the last time. Mmm mmm. I’m ready to eat it all over again!

Note: this meal is gluten free, but as always review the ingredient list on your products (in this case on the Caesar Dressing & Grated/Mozzarella Cheeses) if you have a wheat allergy as it can depend upon the brand. Most grocery stores offer a gluten free section for products.
