Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 16 ounces lean ground beef (95% lean)
- 4 slices turkey bacon
- 4 whole wheat burger buns
- 4 slices low-fat cheddar cheese slices
- 1 medium tomato
- 4 romaine lettuce leaves
- 0.5 medium red onion
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 as needed non-stick cooking spray
- 4 teaspoons low-fat mayonnaise (optional)
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, combine the lean ground beef, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
Gently mix the ingredients with your hands until just combined, being careful not to overwork the meat.
Divide the mixture into four equal parts and shape each one into a patty about 3/4 inch thick.
Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat and spray lightly with non-stick cooking spray.
Cook the turkey bacon slices until crispy, about 3 to 4 minutes per side. Remove from the pan and set aside.
Using the same skillet, increase the heat to medium-high and add the burger patties. Cook for about 4 to 5 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired doneness.
Top each patty with a slice of low-fat cheddar cheese during the last minute of cooking. Cover the skillet with a lid to help the cheese melt.
While the burgers are cooking, slice the tomato and onion into thin rounds.
Toast the whole wheat burger buns in a toaster or on a pan until slightly crispy.
To assemble the burgers, spread a teaspoon of low-fat mayonnaise on the bottom half of each bun if using.
Place a lettuce leaf on the bun, followed by the cheeseburger patty, a slice of turkey bacon, tomato slices, onion rings, and the top half of the bun.
Serve immediately and enjoy your low-fat classic bacon burger!
