Okay, this is hands-down one of the greatest meals I’ve had since we started South Beach. Totally yum-o. For Phase 1, leave off the buns…though that is truly one of the things that made this such a great meal. For Phase 2, we used sugar-free Nature’s Own Whole Wheat Hamburger Buns, and though it certainly wasn’t as good as, say, Mrs. Baird’s totally white and fluffy jumbo seeded sandwich buns, it was definitely respectable. And with a hearty thumbs-up from both kids, it’s a double winner in my book.
