Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground beef (85% lean)
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 4 buns Reduced sodium hamburger buns
- 4 leaves Lettuce leaves
- 1 large Tomato, sliced
- 0.5 medium Red onion, sliced
- 4 tablespoons Low sodium ketchup
- 4 teaspoons Low sodium mustard
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine ground beef, onion powder, garlic powder, and black pepper. Mix gently with your hands until just combined to avoid overworking the meat.
Divide the beef mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each into a patty about 3/4 inch thick, making a slight indentation in the center to prevent puffing during cooking.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat.
Add hamburger patties to the pan and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness (160°F for well-done).
While the patties cook, lightly toast the reduced sodium hamburger buns on another skillet or in a toaster.
Once the patties are cooked, assemble the burgers: place a lettuce leaf on the bottom half of each bun, followed by the beef patty.
Top each patty with a tomato slice and a slice of red onion.
Spread 1 tablespoon of low sodium ketchup and 1 teaspoon of low sodium mustard on the top half of each bun.
Place the top bun over the assembled burger and serve immediately.
