Ingredients
- 500 g lean ground beef
- 2 tablespoons worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 slices cheddar cheese slices
- 4 buns whole wheat hamburger buns
- 1 large tomato
- 4 leaves lettuce leaves
- 1 small red onion
- 4 tablespoons greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the lean ground beef, worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
Step 2
Divide the meat mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each into a patty about 3/4 inch thick.
Step 3
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. When the oil is hot, add the beef patties.
Step 4
Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they reach your preferred level of doneness.
Step 5
About 1 minute before the patties are fully cooked, place a slice of cheddar cheese on top of each patty. Cover the skillet with a lid to allow the cheese to melt.
Step 6
While the beef patties are cooking, slice the tomato and red onion into thin rounds.
Step 7
Toast the whole wheat hamburger buns lightly on a grill or in a toaster.
Step 8
To assemble the cheeseburgers, spread 1 tablespoon of Greek yogurt on the bottom half of each bun.
Step 9
Place a lettuce leaf on top of the yogurt, followed by the cheeseburger patty, a few slices of tomato, red onion, and top with the other half of the bun.
Step 10
Serve immediately for the best taste and texture. Enjoy your high protein classic cheeseburger with a side salad or sweet potato fries for a complete meal.
