All-American Deluxe Cheeseburgers
You don’t have to go to a restaurant to enjoy this American classic. You can grill your own home made cheeseburgers — and they’d probably be healthier for you.
You can certainly make this meal figure friendly simply by using light mayonnaise and Thousand Island dressing. Instead of french fries, serve with raw veggies for an even healthier option!
