Ingredients
- 1 pound lean ground beef
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 pieces fresh lettuce leaves
- 1 large tomato
- 4 slices low sodium cheddar cheese slices
- 4 pieces whole wheat hamburger buns
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 medium avocado
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
Directions
Step 1
In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, onion powder, garlic powder, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
Step 2
Divide the beef mixture into four equal parts and shape each into a patty.
Step 3
Preheat a non-stick skillet or grill over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side until cooked through (the internal temperature should read 160°F).
Step 4
While the patties are cooking, slice the tomato into 1/4-inch rounds and set aside.
Step 5
Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a small bowl. Add lemon juice and mash to a smooth consistency.
Step 6
Lightly butter the insides of the hamburger buns with unsalted butter and toast them on the skillet or grill until golden brown.
Step 7
Once the patties are cooked, place a slice of low sodium cheddar cheese on each patty and allow it to melt slightly.
Step 8
Assemble the burgers: Place a lettuce leaf on the bottom half of each bun, then a slice of tomato, followed by the beef patty with melted cheese.
Step 9
Spread a generous layer of mashed avocado on the top half of the bun before closing the burger.
Step 10
Serve the burgers immediately, with optional low sodium condiments such as mustard or no-salt ketchup if desired.
