The South Beach Diet Quick & Easy Cookbook

Burger lovers, Look out! Here is our version of the great American favorite.

Ingredients

1-1/2 pounds Lean ground beef

1/4 teaspoon Salt

1/2 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper

2 ounces Low-fat Swiss cheese slices

4 teaspoons Dijon mustard

4 Green leaf lettuce leaves

1 Medium tomato, sliced

1 Small red onion, thinly sliced

Preparation

Heat grill or grill pan to medium-high.

Mix together beef, salt, and pepper, form into 4 patties. Grill patties to desired doneness, 4 minutes per side for medium. Top with cheese and cover; cook until cheese is melted, 1 minute.

Remove from heat, spread with mustard, and top with lettuce, tomato, and onion; serve.

Cook's Notes

Look for ripe tomatoes at the peak of the season for an extra-juicy touch. Serve on whole grain buns in Phase 2 and 3.
