Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef (85% lean)
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon worcestershire sauce (low sodium)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 4 pieces whole wheat hamburger buns (low sodium)
- 4 pieces lettuce leaves
- 1 medium tomato, sliced
- 0.5 medium red onion, thinly sliced
- 1 medium avocado, sliced
- 4 teaspoons mustard (low sodium)
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, garlic powder, onion powder, ground black pepper, and Worcestershire sauce. Mix gently with your hands until all the ingredients are well incorporated, being careful not to overwork the meat.
Step 2
Divide the beef mixture into four equal portions and shape them into patties about 3/4 inch thick. Make a slight indentation in the center of each patty with your thumb to prevent puffing up during cooking.
Step 3
Brush each patty lightly with olive oil to prevent sticking to the grill.
Step 4
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Step 5
Place the patties on the grill. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on the first side, then flip and cook for another 3-5 minutes on the other side, until the internal temperature reads 160°F (71°C) for medium doneness.
Step 6
While the patties are cooking, slice the tomato, red onion, and avocado.
Step 7
Once the patties are done, remove them from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before assembling the burgers.
Step 8
Toast the whole wheat hamburger buns on the grill for about 1-2 minutes, until lightly toasted.
Step 9
Assemble the burgers by spreading a teaspoon of low sodium mustard on the bottom half of each bun. Place a lettuce leaf, a patty, a slice of tomato, slices of red onion, and a few slices of avocado on top. Cover with the top half of the bun.
Step 10
Serve immediately and enjoy your low sodium classic grilled burgers!
