Ingredients

• 1 pound Lean ground beef (at least 90% lean)
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 12 pieces Small whole wheat slider buns
• 6 slices Cheddar cheese slices
• 0.5 cup Greek yogurt
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 6 leaves Lettuce leaves
• 12 slices Tomato slices
• 12 slices Pickle slices

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the lean ground beef, salt, black pepper, and Worcestershire sauce until evenly incorporated.

Step 2

Divide the beef mixture into 12 equal portions and shape them into small patties, approximately 2 inches in diameter.

Step 3

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Step 4

Once the oil is hot, add the patties to the skillet, cooking in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the pan.

Step 5

Cook the patties for about 3 minutes on each side or until browned and cooked through.

Step 6

Place half a slice of cheddar cheese on top of each patty during the last minute of cooking to melt.

Step 7

While the patties are cooking, mix Greek yogurt and Dijon mustard in a small bowl to create a high-protein burger sauce.

Step 8

Toast the slider buns lightly in a separate skillet or toaster oven until golden brown.

Step 9

On the bottom half of each toasted bun, spread a small spoonful of the Greek yogurt-mustard sauce.

Step 10

Place a lettuce leaf on top of the sauce, followed by a cheeseburger patty.

Step 11

Top each patty with a slice of tomato and a slice of pickle.

Step 12

Add the top half of the bun and secure each slider with a toothpick if desired. Serve immediately.
