Ingredients
- 1 pound lean ground beef
- 1 tablespoon low-sodium Worcestershire sauce
- 0.5 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 4 slices low sodium cheddar cheese slices
- 4 whole wheat hamburger buns
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 4 lettuce leaves
- 1 tomato, sliced
- 1 red onion, sliced
Directions
Step 1
In a bowl, mix the ground beef with low-sodium Worcestershire sauce, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder until evenly combined.
Step 2
Form the beef mixture into 4 equal patties, slightly larger than the buns to account for shrinking during cooking.
Step 3
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Step 4
Place the patties in the skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, until they reach desired doneness.
Step 5
Place a slice of low sodium cheddar cheese on each patty and cover the skillet for 1-2 minutes to melt the cheese.
Step 6
While the patties are cooking, spread unsalted butter on each half of the hamburger buns.
Step 7
Toast the buns on a separate skillet or in a toaster until golden brown.
Step 8
Assemble the burgers by placing a lettuce leaf on the bottom bun, followed by the cheeseburger patty, tomato slice, and a few slices of red onion.
Step 9
Top with the other half of the bun and serve immediately.
