In my eternal search for all things Skeen I came across a recipe that was printed in the Cooking Light Magazine of June 2003. I don’t know about you, but I don’t remember much ‘Cooking Light’ things going on. Everything I remember was deliciously filled with sugar, butter and all kinds of non-light stuff!
I have no idea of the origin of the recipe but here it is.
Skeen Burgers – Yield 10 Servings
1 1/4 cups crushed reduced fat (Aha! There is the light part!!) round buttery crackers such as Ritz – About 20 crackers
1/2 cup applesauce
1 1/2 teaspoons hot pepper sauce
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
2 pounds ground round
1 1-ounce package onion soup mix
Cooking spray
10 hamburger buns
5 Tablespoons ketchup
10 slices red onion
Prepare grill. Combine first 6 ingredients. Divide mixture into 10 equal portions, shaping each into a 1/2 inch patty.
Place patties on a grill rack coated with cooking spray; grill 5 minutes on each side or until done. Place buns, cut sides down, on grill rack; grill 1 minute or until toasted. Spread 1/2 teaspoon ketchup on each bun top. Place 1 patty on bottom half of each bun; top each with 1 onion slice and top half of bun.
Well, there you go! Who would have thought!!
Happy Barbecuing!
