Ingredients
- 1 pound lean ground beef (at least 93% lean)
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 4 pieces lettuce leaves
- 4 slices sliced tomatoes
- 4 slices low-fat cheddar cheese slices
- 4 pieces whole-wheat burger buns
- 4 tablespoons low-fat mayonnaise
- 4 tablespoons ketchup
- 8 pieces pickle slices
- 0 olive oil cooking spray
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your grill or a stovetop griddle over medium-high heat.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the lean ground beef with onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and ground black pepper. Mix until well combined, but avoid overworking the meat.
Step 3
Divide the mixture into four equal portions and form them into patties slightly larger than your burger buns, as they will shrink slightly when cooked.
Step 4
Lightly coat the grill or griddle with olive oil cooking spray.
Step 5
Place the patties on the grill and cook for about 3-4 minutes on the first side until browned and seared.
Step 6
Flip the patties and place a slice of low-fat cheddar cheese on top of each patty. Cook for another 3-4 minutes or until the patties are cooked through to your desired doneness.
Step 7
Lightly toast the whole-wheat burger buns on the grill until they are golden brown.
Step 8
Spread 1 tablespoon of low-fat mayonnaise on the bottom half of each toasted bun, followed by a tablespoon of ketchup.
Step 9
Place a patty on top of each prepared bun, followed by a lettuce leaf, a slice of tomato, and two pickle slices.
Step 10
Add the top half of the bun and serve immediately.
