Instructions
Low Fat Burgers
- Combine all burger ingredients (beef through black pepper) in a large bowl. Mix well (using your hands works best).
- Divide into 4 equal portions. Shape each portion into a 1/2 inch thick patty.
- Separate patties using wax paper. This also makes it easier to transfer them to the grill.
- Prepare grill. Cook burgers for 4 to 5 minutes on each side, or until desired doneness is reached. Baste with your favorite barbeque sauce.
- Serve on hamburger rolls with your favorite toppings.
