INGREDIENTS

6 oz Ground beef (93% lean)

0.5 slice Sharp cheddar cheese

0.5 whole Whole wheat bun

1 leaf Romaine lettuce

2 slices Tomato

1 slice Red onion

1 tsp Yellow mustard

0.25 tsp Sea salt

0.25 tsp Black pepper

0.25 tsp Garlic powder

PREPARATION

• 1

  Gently form the ground beef into a single 1-inch thick patty, being careful not to overwork the meat to maintain a tender texture.

• 2

  Season both sides of the patty evenly with the sea salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.

• 3

  Heat a cast-iron skillet or non-stick pan over medium-high heat and lightly coat with a quick spray of oil if needed.

• 4

  Place the patty in the hot pan and sear for 4 minutes on the first side until a golden-brown crust forms.

• 5

  Flip the patty and immediately place the cheddar cheese slice on top, cooking for another 3-4 minutes until the desired doneness is reached and the cheese is melted.

• 6

  While the beef rests for 2 minutes, place the bun halves cut-side down in the pan to lightly toast until golden.

• 7

  Assemble the burger by spreading mustard on the bottom bun, followed by the lettuce, tomato, onion, and the cheesy beef patty.
