This recipe is great for people trying to cut down on fatty ground beef in their meals, yet still like the taste of a good burger. The cottage cheese and the oatmeal give it the familiar texture of a burger, and also make it very filling. The onion dip mix gives it the flavor. I also like to add a little liquid smoke to it to give it the smoky flavor of a grilled burger. Credits for this recipe go to Evelyn Tribole, from her book Healthy Homestyle Cooking.

Ingredients:
- 2 egg whites, lightly beaten
- 1 cup fat free cottage cheese
- 1 envelope instant onion-mushroom soup/dip mix
- 1 cup rolled oats
Directions:
In a medium bowl, stir together the egg whites, cottage cheese, and soup mix until well combined ( I aso add in about a tsp. of liquid smoke). Then stir in the oats. Using about 1/3 cup of mixture for each burger, shape the mixture into six 1/2" thick patties. Spray an unheated griddle or large skillet with no-stick spray. Heat the griddle or skillet over medium heat. Add the patties and cook about 3 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Serve on a bun with any toppings you desire. Makes 6 burgers.
