INGREDIENTS

6 oz ground beef (93% lean)

0.5 whole sprouted grain bun

0.5 slice sharp cheddar cheese

2 tbsp nonfat Greek yogurt

1 tsp yellow mustard

1 tsp low-sugar ketchup

1 tsp pickle juice

0.25 tsp garlic powder

0.25 tsp sea salt

0.25 tsp black pepper

1 leaf butter lettuce

1 slice tomato

1 slice red onion

PREPARATION

• 1

  In a small bowl, whisk together the nonfat Greek yogurt, yellow mustard, low-sugar ketchup, pickle juice, and garlic powder until smooth to create the secret sauce.

• 2

  Season the ground beef with sea salt and black pepper, then gently form it into a single thick patty without overworking the meat.

• 3

  Heat a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat and sear the patty for 4-5 minutes per side until the internal temperature reaches your desired level of doneness.

• 4

  Place the sharp cheddar cheese slice on the patty during the last minute of cooking and cover the pan briefly to allow the cheese to melt.

• 5

  Lightly toast the sprouted grain bun in the same skillet or a toaster until the edges are golden and fragrant.

• 6

  Assemble the burger by spreading a generous layer of secret sauce on the bottom bun, then layering the butter lettuce, tomato, red onion, and the cheesy beef patty before closing with the top bun.
