Ingredients
- 1 pound Lean ground beef (90% lean, 10% fat)
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 4 pieces Whole wheat hamburger buns
- 4 slices Low-fat cheddar cheese slices
- 4 pieces Lettuce leaves
- 1 whole Tomato, sliced
- 0.5 whole Yellow onion, sliced
- 4 teaspoons Low-fat mayonnaise
- 4 teaspoons Ketchup
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Step 2
In a medium bowl, combine the lean ground beef, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Mix gently with your hands until the seasonings are evenly distributed.
Step 3
Divide the beef mixture into four equal parts and shape each into a burger patty, making them slightly larger than the buns since they will shrink when cooking.
Step 4
Once the grill is hot, place the burger patties on the grill. Cook for about 6-7 minutes per side, ensuring an internal temperature of 160°F to ensure they are cooked through.
Step 5
In the final two minutes of cooking, place a slice of low-fat cheddar cheese on each patty and cover the grill to allow the cheese to melt.
Step 6
While the burgers are cooking, prepare your other toppings: slice the tomato and onion, and rinse and dry the lettuce leaves.
Step 7
Lightly toast the whole wheat buns on the grill during the last few minutes of cooking.
Step 8
Assemble the burgers by spreading 1 teaspoon of low-fat mayonnaise on the bottom half of each bun, followed by a cooked cheeseburger patty.
Step 9
Top each patty with a lettuce leaf, a slice of tomato, and some onion slices.
Step 10
Spread 1 teaspoon of ketchup on the top half of each bun, and place it on top of the assembled burger.
Step 11
Serve immediately and enjoy a delicious, low-fat cheeseburger!
