Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound lean ground beef (93% lean)
- 8 pieces whole wheat slider buns
- 2 tablespoons dijon mustard
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 pieces low-fat cheddar cheese slices
- 8 leaves lettuce
- 1 large tomato
- 0.5 small red onion
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the lean ground beef, dijon mustard, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overwork the meat.
Divide the meat mixture into 8 equal portions and shape each one into a patty about the size of the slider buns.
Preheat a non-stick skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat.
Place the patties on the skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they reach an internal temperature of 160°F, ensuring they are fully cooked.
While the patties are cooking, slice the tomato into 8 thin rounds and the red onion into thin rings.
During the last minute of cooking the beef patties, place half a slice of low-fat cheddar cheese on each patty and cover the skillet to allow the cheese to melt.
Once cooked, remove the patties from the skillet and let them rest for a couple of minutes.
Assemble the sliders by placing a lettuce leaf on the bottom half of each whole wheat slider bun, followed by a beef patty, a slice of tomato, and a few rings of red onion.
Top each slider with the bun top and secure with a toothpick if necessary.
Serve immediately and enjoy your low-fat classic beef sliders.
