CHEW THE RIGHT THING
BITE IT!
HG's Blue Ribbon Roast Beef Sandwich
Beefing Up!
Arby's is promoting its Roastburger sandwich as "the burger done better."
Well, we're taking the so-called "burger done better" and doing it MUCH
better. Check it out...
Ingredients:
1 Arnold Select/Oroweat Sandwich Thins roll, or alternative below
3 oz. thinly sliced roast beef
1/2 cup shredded lettuce
2 slices tomato
2 slices red onion
1 slice center-cut bacon with about 20 calories per slice (like Oscar Mayer
Naturally Smoked 30% Lower Fat Center Cut Bacon)
1 tbsp. light blue cheese dressing with about 25 calories per tbsp. (like the
one by Wish-Bone)
1/8 tsp. black pepper
Directions:
Bring a pan sprayed with nonstick spray to medium heat. Split the roll into
halves and lay it in the pan with the inside facing down. Carefully remove
once your desired level of "toasty" is reached, after about 1 - 2 minutes.
Plate the toasted bun, inside facing up, and evenly spread the dressing onto
both halves. Top the bottom half with lettuce, tomato, and onion. Set aside.
Remove the pan from the stove and re-spray with nonstick spray. Return
pan to the stove and bring to medium-high heat. Cut bacon in half widthwise,
sprinkle with pepper, and lay it flat in the pan. Cook until crispy, about 2
minutes on each side. Remove bacon from the pan and set aside.
Place roast beef in the pan and, stirring occasionally, cook until warm and
browned, about 1 1/2 minutes.
Roughly chop the roast beef, if you like, or simply leave the slices whole.
Place roast beef over the veggies on the bottom half of the roll. Add bacon
and finish it off with top half of the roll. Chow down!

for a similar product called Pepperidge Farm Deli Flats. And if you can't find
that, use a light English muffin (one with 100 calories) instead.
FIGHT IT!
Arby's Bacon & Bleu Roastburger
Wicked 'Wich
Dear Arby's,
We think it's admirable that you're promoting "better" eating these days. But
it's definitely not better-for-you food that you're offering. Your Bacon & Bleu
Roastburger has more fat and calories than a Carl's Jr. Big Hamburger, a
BK Bacon Cheeseburger, or even a McDonald's Quarter Pounder.
And as for the name... Roastburger? Let's be real, guys. It's just a roast beef
sandwich. (What's burger-y about it?) Anyhow, we've made our own version
of your beefy treat that includes all the important things (roast beef, real
bacon...) and excludes the unnecessary stuff (oodles of excess fat and
calories). In short, our sandwich can beat up your sandwich.
Sincerely,
Hungry Girl
P.S. Love the hat.
