Ingredients
- 1 pound 85% lean ground beef
- 4 pieces Whole wheat burger buns
- 1 can Olive oil cooking spray
- 4 slices Low-fat cheddar cheese slices
- 4 pieces Lettuce leaves
- 1 large Tomato
- 4 slices Pickles
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
- 4 tablespoons Low-fat mayonnaise
Directions
Step 1
Divide the ground beef into 4 equal portions, about 4 ounces each. Roll each portion into a ball and set aside.
Step 2
Preheat a large non-stick skillet or a flat griddle over medium-high heat and lightly coat with olive oil cooking spray.
Step 3
Once the skillet is hot, place two beef balls into the skillet and, using a large spatula, press down firmly to flatten each ball into a patty about 1/4 inch thick. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Step 4
Cook the patties without moving them for about 2-3 minutes until the edges are crisp and browned.
Step 5
Flip the patties, place a slice of low-fat cheddar cheese on each patty, and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until the cheese is melted and the patty is cooked through.
Step 6
Remove the cooked patties and repeat the process with the remaining beef balls.
Step 7
Meanwhile, lightly toast the whole wheat buns in a separate skillet or toaster.
Step 8
Slice the tomato into rounds.
Step 9
To assemble the burgers, spread 1 tablespoon of low-fat mayonnaise on the bottom half of each toasted bun. Layer with lettuce, a cheesy beef patty, tomato slice, and a pickle slice. Top with the other half of the bun.
Step 10
Serve immediately while hot and enjoy your low-fat classic smash burger.
