Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound lean ground beef
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.25 teaspoon ground cumin
- 4 pieces whole wheat hamburger buns
- 4 pieces lettuce leaves
- 4 pieces slices of tomato
- 4 pieces slices of red onion
- 4 teaspoons low-sodium ketchup
- 4 teaspoons Dijon mustard
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef with the onion powder, garlic powder, black pepper, oregano, and cumin. Mix gently until well combined.
Divide the beef mixture into four equal portions and shape each portion into a patty that is roughly 3/4 inch thick.
Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat.
Once the oil is hot, place the patties in the skillet. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the burgers reach your desired level of doneness.
While the burgers are cooking, toast the whole wheat buns lightly on a separate pan or in a toaster.
Spread 1 teaspoon of low-sodium ketchup on the bottom half of each bun and 1 teaspoon of Dijon mustard on the top half.
Once the burger patties are cooked, place each one on the prepared bottom bun.
Top each burger with a leaf of lettuce, a slice of tomato, and a slice of red onion.
Finish by placing the bun top back on the burger.
Serve immediately and enjoy your flavorful low sodium big tasty burger!
