I slept in today so I had lunch about Noon, and then a larger dinner at 6 pm to use up points.

I still have 11 points left after this awesome dinner!

Weight Watcher's Recipe from eTools:
Greek-Syle Cheesburgers

1 pound uncooked lean ground beef
1/2 tsp dried oregano, crushed
Salt and pepper
1 clove of garlic, mashed
1/2 cup minced uncooked onion
2 sprays of cooking spray
4 light hamburger rolls
5 tsp crumbled feta cheese
1 cup of fresh baby spinach leaves

Instructions:
In a medium bowl combine beef, oregano, salt and pepper to taste, garlic and onion. Gently form into four patties.

Coat a nonstick ridged grill pan with cooking spray, heat on medium/high heat for about 30 seconds.  Place burgers in pan, grill for 5 minutes.  Flip burgers and grill until cooked through to center, about 4 or 5 more minutes.

Place burgers on buns, top each with 1 1/4 tsp of cheese and some spinach.  Serve immediately.

Makes 4 servings at 8 ppv each.

I had 2 burgers for 16 ppv and 2 servings (about 2 cups) of Alexia sweet potato waffle fries (7 ppv) for a total of 23 points!

This is obviously a lot more points than I would normally consume in one meal, but I had 34 points left to use for the day, and this took care of 23 of them!

Make the point value even less by substituting ground turkey for all or half of the meat!
