Ingredients
- 1 pound Lean ground Angus beef (90% lean)
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Onion powder
- 4 slices Low-fat cheddar cheese slices
- 4 pieces Whole grain hamburger buns
- 4 pieces Lettuce leaves
- 1 medium Tomato, sliced
- 8 slices Pickle slices
- 4 tablespoons Low-fat mayonnaise
- 4 teaspoons Mustard
Directions
Step 1
In a large bowl, combine the lean ground Angus beef, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix gently with your hands until the seasonings are evenly distributed.
Step 2
Divide the seasoned beef into four equal portions and shape each into a patty about 3/4-inch thick. Make a slight indentation in the center of each patty with your thumb to prevent it from puffing up while cooking.
Step 3
Preheat a grill or stovetop skillet over medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates or skillet to prevent sticking.
Step 4
Place the burger patties on the preheated grill or skillet. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they reach an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C) for medium doneness.
Step 5
During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of low-fat cheddar cheese on each patty, covering with a lid to melt the cheese.
Step 6
While the cheese is melting, lightly toast the whole grain hamburger buns either on the grill or in a toaster.
Step 7
To assemble the burgers, spread 1 tablespoon of low-fat mayonnaise on the bottom half of each bun, followed by a teaspoon of mustard.
Step 8
Top each with a cooked beef patty, a slice of tomato, two pickle slices, and a leaf of lettuce.
Step 9
Finish with the top half of the bun and serve the burgers immediately while warm.
