Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef (preferably lean, 85% lean/15% fat)
- 1 tablespoon low sodium Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon unsalted onion powder
- 1 teaspoon unsalted garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon unsweetened paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 4 slices low sodium cheddar cheese slices
- 4 pieces whole wheat burger buns
- 4 pieces romaine lettuce leaves
- 1 pieces sliced tomato
- 0.5 pieces sliced red onion
- 2 tablespoons mustard (optional)
- 2 tablespoons no-salt added ketchup (optional)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, low sodium Worcestershire sauce, onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, and black pepper. Use your hands to gently mix until all the ingredients are well incorporated, being careful not to overwork the meat.
Divide the beef mixture into four equal portions and shape each into a patty about 3/4 inch thick. Press a shallow indent into the center of each patty with your thumb to prevent puffing during cooking.
Preheat a grill or a skillet over medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates or skillet.
Place the patties on the heated grill or skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on the first side, then flip.
Just before the patties are cooked to your desired doneness, place a slice of low sodium cheddar cheese on each patty and cover with a lid or a piece of aluminum foil. Let cook until the cheese is melted, about 1-2 minutes.
Remove the patties from the heat and let them rest for a minute. Meanwhile, lightly toast the whole wheat burger buns on the grill or skillet.
Assemble the burgers by placing a romaine lettuce leaf on the bottom half of each bun. Add the cheeseburger patty, followed by tomato slices, red onion slices, and any desired condiments such as mustard or no-salt-added ketchup.
Top with the other half of the bun, serve immediately, and enjoy your low sodium cheeseburger delight!
