Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Lean ground beef (at least 90% lean)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 12 pieces Small whole wheat slider buns
- 6 slices Cheddar cheese slices
- 0.5 cup Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 6 leaves Lettuce leaves
- 12 slices Tomato slices
- 12 slices Pickle slices
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the lean ground beef, salt, black pepper, and Worcestershire sauce until evenly incorporated.
Divide the beef mixture into 12 equal portions and shape them into small patties, approximately 2 inches in diameter.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Once the oil is hot, add the patties to the skillet, cooking in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the pan.
Cook the patties for about 3 minutes on each side or until browned and cooked through.
Place half a slice of cheddar cheese on top of each patty during the last minute of cooking to melt.
While the patties are cooking, mix Greek yogurt and Dijon mustard in a small bowl to create a high-protein burger sauce.
Toast the slider buns lightly in a separate skillet or toaster oven until golden brown.
On the bottom half of each toasted bun, spread a small spoonful of the Greek yogurt-mustard sauce.
Place a lettuce leaf on top of the sauce, followed by a cheeseburger patty.
Top each patty with a slice of tomato and a slice of pickle.
Add the top half of the bun and secure each slider with a toothpick if desired. Serve immediately.
