Cooking Tips

• For a healthier option, try substituting ground turkey or chicken for ground sirloin beef.
• Chop bell peppers, eggplant, mushrooms, onions, and zucchini into pieces, soak in water for 30 minutes, pat them dry and spray with no-stick cooking spray. Throw them on the grill until they are at your desired level of tenderness and you will have a delicious, healthy side dish to go with your burgers.
• Spray your grilling tools with no-stick cooking spray to keep them clean. This quick grilling tip can save you a lot of time.
• Don’t let canned fruits or vegetables scare you. If you’re in a rush, using precut, frozen or canned fruits and vegetables in your meal-prep routines eliminates time spent cleaning, chopping, dicing, and peeling.
