Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef (90% lean)
- 1 teaspoon no-salt seasoning mix
- 0.5 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 4 units whole wheat hamburger buns
- 4 slices low sodium cheddar cheese slices
- 4 units lettuce leaves
- 1 unit tomato
- 1 small onion
- 1 tablespoon avocado oil
Instructions
Preheat your grill or skillet over medium-high heat.
In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, no-salt seasoning mix, and black pepper. Mix gently until just combined.
Divide the meat mixture into four equal portions and shape them into patties slightly larger than the buns.
Lightly brush the grill or skillet with avocado oil to prevent sticking.
Place the patties on the preheated grill or skillet. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side until they reach an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C) for medium doneness.
In the last minute of cooking, place a slice of low sodium cheddar cheese on each patty and cover the grill or skillet to help melt the cheese.
While the patties are cooking, slice the tomato and onion into thin rings.
Toast the whole wheat hamburger buns on the grill or in a toaster until lightly browned.
To assemble the burgers, place a lettuce leaf on the bottom half of each bun, followed by a cooked beef patty with melted cheese.
Top each burger with tomato slices, onion rings, and the other half of the bun.
Serve immediately and enjoy your low sodium classic American cheeseburger!
