Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 tablespoons chili sauce
  • 1/8 teaspoon hot-pepper sauce, or more to taste
  • 4 ounces 96% lean ground beef hamburger patty
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 3/4 ounce light Swiss cheese, slivers
  • 1 whole wheat or whole grain hamburger bun
  • Baby spring mix
  • 1 (1/4-inch thick) large tomato slice
  • 1 very thin slice red onion

Method
 

  1. Preheat a grill to high heat. In a small, microwave-safe bowl, mix the chili sauce and hot pepper sauce.
  2. Season both sides of the patty with salt and pepper. Grill it about 1-2 minutes per side for medium rare or until desired doneness is reached. During the last minute of cooking, add the cheese to the patty, and, if desired, toast the bun by placing the insides, face down, on a top grill rack or away from the flame until just toasted.
  3. Meanwhile, microwave the chili sauce mixture on low, about 15-30 seconds until just hot.
  4. Place the bun bottom on a serving plate. Add the lettuce, tomato then onion followed by the burger. Spoon the sauce over the burger. Add the bun top. Serve immediately.
