Ingredients

• 16 ounces lean ground beef (95% lean)
• 4 slices turkey bacon
• 4 whole wheat burger buns
• 4 slices low-fat cheddar cheese slices
• 1 medium tomato
• 4 romaine lettuce leaves
• 0.5 medium red onion
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 as needed non-stick cooking spray
• 4 teaspoons low-fat mayonnaise (optional)

Directions

Step 1

In a mixing bowl, combine the lean ground beef, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.

Step 2

Gently mix the ingredients with your hands until just combined, being careful not to overwork the meat.

Step 3

Divide the mixture into four equal parts and shape each one into a patty about 3/4 inch thick.

Step 4

Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat and spray lightly with non-stick cooking spray.

Step 5

Cook the turkey bacon slices until crispy, about 3 to 4 minutes per side. Remove from the pan and set aside.

Step 6

Using the same skillet, increase the heat to medium-high and add the burger patties. Cook for about 4 to 5 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired doneness.

Step 7

Top each patty with a slice of low-fat cheddar cheese during the last minute of cooking. Cover the skillet with a lid to help the cheese melt.

Step 8

While the burgers are cooking, slice the tomato and onion into thin rounds.

Step 9

Toast the whole wheat burger buns in a toaster or on a pan until slightly crispy.

Step 10

To assemble the burgers, spread a teaspoon of low-fat mayonnaise on the bottom half of each bun if using.

Step 11

Place a lettuce leaf on the bun, followed by the cheeseburger patty, a slice of turkey bacon, tomato slices, onion rings, and the top half of the bun.

Step 12

Serve immediately and enjoy your low-fat classic bacon burger!
