They are on the list as string beans. I would say to try and stick with fresh, not canned due to salt content and often the canned ones are more "mature" which from what I understand makes them more like a legume.

OH... they are on the 1 cup of "other veggies" list

thank you so much, bonnierose! you have been a huge help to me today!! I thought they might be string beans, but our store sells both so I wasn't sure. Yes, I was referring to canned, but hubby had some at lunch today at a restaurant and I had a mini-heart attack thinking that he'd cheated without intending to!! He said he didn't think he even had a cup though. He ate ribs WITHOUT sauce...I was so proud of him! That'd be hard for me to do...I'd stick with a steak! lol

[BonnieRose16]

yeah I'd have to go with a steak too... Can't stay away from teh bbq if I have to make myself... lol I've gone out a lot lately and had every burger on the local brewery's menu without their buns and every chicken sandwich and every steak... Now I need a new restaurant!!!!

[rhiannonwins]

mmm, a big juicy bacon cheeseburger sounds delish...without the bun of course! hangin' on til payday to splurge! Making them at home until then. *grin*
I don't know if the oopsie rolls will work as a bun for my hubby's big burgers though...they might get soggy and squish flat! Maybe burgers solo!

I've done burgers with the Oopsie Rolls before... I seasoned the "bread" with onion powder garlic powder and a little bit of salt/sugar free burger seasoning before baking them. I made them 8 spoons high instead of 6 spoons high to make them thicker.... another option is to use miniature foil cake pans for them or muffin top pans so that they only have so much room to spread out. Hope that helps!
But I have to wait to buy some until payday... going to make a bunch to bring camping with me next weekend...
