I grew up in the Seattle area. There are a small local chain of restaurants named Dick’s Drive-in. A very small chain of about 5 restaurants. They are a local landmark. Whenever I would go there, I would order like 3 Dick’s Deluxe cheeseburgers, and a shake, They were very good. Now that I live in New York, I don’t get to eat there very often.
The other day, I had a craving for a Dick’s Deluxe, and set about to recreate it here as best as I could. And also to try to make a low fat version of it. The results were pretty good. Not as good as the real thing, but if I hadn’t made it low fat, I could have probably gotten closer. This is what I came up with:
Ingredients:
1/4 pound lean ground beef
Hamburger bun
Kraft Free Mayo
1 slice fat free American cheese
2 hamburger pickle chips
Lettuce (iceberg)
Directions:
Divide the ground beef into two roughly equal parts. Make them into hamburger patties. Grill patties in a skillets. While patties are cooking, spread approximately 2 teaspoons of fat free mayo on the bottom bun. Chop the two pickle chips into small pieces, and sprinkle on the mayo. Cover the mayo with lettuce.
When the patties are done cooking, stack the two patties, and place the fat free cheese slice on top. Place these on the lettuce, and cover with the top bun.
Enjoy!
