Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground beef (85% lean)
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 4 slices Low sodium American cheese slice
- 4 buns Whole wheat hamburger buns (low sodium)
- 4 leaves Iceberg lettuce
- 1 medium Tomato
- 4 tablespoons Mayonnaise (low sodium)
- 1 tablespoon Ketchup (low sodium)
- 1 teaspoon Yellow mustard (low sodium)
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine ground beef with black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix lightly to avoid overworking the meat.
Form the beef into four equal-sized patties, about 4 inches in diameter and 1 inch thick.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil.
Once the oil is hot, add the patties to the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes on one side, and then flip.
Place one slice of low sodium American cheese on each patty during the last minute of cooking, allowing it to melt.
While the patties are cooking, toast the hamburger buns lightly in a separate skillet or toaster.
In a small bowl, mix the low sodium mayonnaise, low sodium ketchup, and low sodium mustard to make the special sauce.
Slice the tomato into thin slices.
To assemble the burgers, spread a tablespoon of the special sauce on the bottom half of each toasted bun.
Place a cooked beef patty on top of the sauce, followed by a leaf of lettuce, a slice of tomato, and the top bun half.
Serve immediately while warm and enjoy your low sodium Shack-style burger!
