Steak Sauce Burgers

4 lean hamburger patties
steak sauce (I use Walmart's brand)
salt & pepper
buns
cheese
lettuce
mustard
any other toppings you like.


In a large skillet, start cooking patties and sprinkle with salt and pepper on each side. Pour steak sauce on each side and add some to the skillet. As the meat cooks, the juices mix with the steak sauce and make a gravy. Assemble your burger however you like it, and the patties are full of flavor. This would also be good with bacon, onions and mushrooms. Yum!

Low Fat Mini Pizza Rolls

1 pkg. reduced fat crescent rolls
mini pepperonis (use turkey pepperoni for an even lower fat version)
low fat shredded mozzerella cheese
pizza sauce

Separate crescent rolls. Spread some pizza sauce, then top with cheese and mini pepperonis. Carefully fold starting at the top and roll. Place on greased baking sheet and bake until golden brown.

Sugar Free Banana Chocolate Chip Bread

4 mashed bananas
2 tbsp. sweetner (I use Splenda)
1 egg
1 3/4 cups flour
3 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. salt
1/4 cup mini chocolate chips
1/4 cup chopped pecans (optional)

Mash bananas and add egg, then add remaining ingredients one at a time and mix well. Batter will be thick. Bake in 350 degree oven until brown about 40 minutes. Makes 1 large loaf or 2 small. Let cool completely before turning out of pan and slicing. Test the center with a toothpick to see if it comes clean for doneness.
