Bacon Jalapeno Cheddar Burgers


This one isn't SUPER healthy, but it is a healthier version of a bacon cheese burger so I'm considering it a win! There are definitely ways to cut some of the fat out, (use ground turkey or chicken) in this case I used 90% ground sirloin and turkey bacon. I also blotted the bacon and burger off with a paper towel to help absorb some of the extra grease.  You could also sub out the roll for a large lettuce leaf or go with light or Weight Watcher approved buns.
