Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 g Lean ground beef (at least 93% lean)
- 4 pieces Whole wheat hamburger buns
- 4 pieces Lettuce leaves
- 1 large Tomato
- 1 small Red onion
- 4 slices Low-fat cheddar cheese
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil
- 4 tablespoons Low-fat mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine the lean ground beef, salt, black pepper, and Worcestershire sauce. Mix gently to combine, taking care not to overwork the meat.
Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape them into patties about 3/4 inch thick. Ensure that they are uniform in thickness for even cooking.
Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil. Once heated, place the beef patties into the skillet.
Cook the patties for about 4 minutes on one side, then flip and continue cooking for another 3 minutes on the other side. For a low-fat touch, you may cover the pan with a lid after flipping to ensure even cooking without much oil.
During the last minute of cooking, place one slice of low-fat cheddar cheese on each patty and cover with a lid to allow the cheese to melt.
While the patties are cooking, slice the tomato and red onion into thin rings.
Toast the whole wheat hamburger buns lightly in a toaster or on a clean pan for extra crunch.
To assemble the burgers, spread 1 tablespoon of low-fat mayonnaise on the bottom half of each bun and a teaspoon of Dijon mustard on the top half.
Place a lettuce leaf on the bun, followed by the cheesy beef patty. Top with tomato slices and onion rings.
Finish by placing the top bun over the vegetables. Serve immediately and enjoy your low-fat classic hamburger!
