Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground beef (80% lean)
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
- 4 slices Low sodium cheddar cheese slices
- 4 buns Whole-grain hamburger buns
- 4 leaves Lettuce leaves
- 1 medium Tomato, sliced
- 0.5 medium Red onion, sliced
- 4 tablespoons Low sodium ketchup
- 4 tablespoons Mustard
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine the ground beef with garlic powder, onion powder, and freshly ground black pepper.
Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape each portion into a 3/4 inch thick patty.
Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat.
Once hot, place the beef patties on the grill or skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes on the first side.
Flip the patties and place a slice of low sodium cheddar cheese on each one, cooking for an additional 3-4 minutes until they reach your desired level of doneness and the cheese is melted.
While the patties are cooking, lightly toast the whole-grain hamburger buns on the grill or in a separate pan.
Assemble the burgers: on the bottom half of each toasted bun, place a lettuce leaf, followed by a few slices of tomato and red onion.
Place the cooked beef patty with melted cheese on top of the veggies.
Spread 1 tablespoon each of low sodium ketchup and mustard on the top half of each bun, then place it on top of the burger.
Serve the low sodium cheeseburgers immediately and enjoy!
