Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound lean ground beef
- 8 pieces whole wheat slider buns
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 4 slices low-fat cheddar cheese
- 8 pieces lettuce leaves
- 1 medium tomato
- 1 small red onion
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine lean ground beef with onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, finely chopped fresh parsley, salt, and black pepper.
Mix gently with your hands until all ingredients are well integrated, being careful not to overwork the meat.
Divide the beef mixture into 8 equal portions and shape each portion into a small patty, about 2 1/2 inches in diameter.
Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the beef patties.
Cook the patties for 3-4 minutes on each side or until they reach an internal temperature of 160°F.
During the last minute of cooking, place half a slice of low-fat cheddar cheese on each patty and cover the skillet loosely with foil to melt the cheese.
While the patties are cooking, prepare the toppings by slicing the tomato and red onion thinly.
To assemble, place a lettuce leaf on the bottom half of each whole wheat slider bun.
Top with a beef patty, a slice of tomato, and a few rings of red onion.
Cover with the other half of the slider bun and serve immediately.
