Burger and Fries Pie | Slimming World Sunday

This Burger and Fries Pie fakeaway tastes like the real thing and is Syn free instead of the 34 syns a Big Mac meal would be.

 
 

 
 
Hands up who loves a juicy burger and salty fries! Yep, me too!  Did you know that a Big Mac comes in at an eyewatering 25.5 syns?! If you added medium fries into that you are looking at another 8.5 syns.  So a medium Big Mac meal will take up over 2 days worth of syns even if you do only stick to a Diet Coke! Don’t panic though.   Your burger chomping days are far from over as I’ve got a syn free fakeaway for you!  While your burger might not be in a bun nor shaped in a patty, it certainly doesn’t lack the hamburger taste.  I give you the Burger and Fries Pie.
 
This post was originally published in August 2015 so I decided to update the images as well as making it Slimming World friendly by being syn free.  The only changes that I made was switching the mince to 5% fat, adding a Spicentice Gourmet Burger spice mix and making my own chips instead of shop bought ones!  You could even make it a Cheeseburger and Fries Pie by adding cheese out of your Hex A and it will still be syn free.  Remember and syn it if you’ve already used your Hex A allowance for that day.
