Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 450 grams Lean ground beef
- 4 pieces Whole wheat burger buns
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
- 4 slices Low-fat cheese slices
- 1 large Tomato
- 4 pieces Lettuce leaves
- 4 slices Pickle slices
- 4 tablespoons Ketchup
- 4 teaspoons Mustard
Instructions
Preheat your grill or a non-stick pan over medium-high heat.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the lean ground beef, salt, pepper, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix gently until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
Divide the beef mixture into four equal parts and shape each part into a patty about 2 cm thick.
Place the patties on the preheated grill or non-stick pan. Cook for 4-5 minutes on the first side without moving them until the juices start to rise to the top.
Flip the patties using a spatula and place a low-fat cheese slice on top of each patty. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the burgers are cooked through (internal temperature should reach 71°C or 160°F).
While the burgers are cooking, slice the tomato into 1/2 cm thick slices and prepare the lettuce, pickles, ketchup, and mustard.
Lightly toast the whole wheat buns on the grill or in a toaster.
To assemble the burger, spread 1 tablespoon of ketchup on the bottom half of each bun, place a cooked patty with cheese, followed by a lettuce leaf, a tomato slice, and a pickle slice.
Spread 1 teaspoon of mustard on the top half of each bun and place it over the assembled burger.
Serve the low-fat classic beef burgers immediately while they're warm and enjoy a delicious, wholesome meal.
