{made it} Lighter Blue Cheese Burger

Lighter Blue Cheese Burger
*Serves four

Made with lean ground beef and low-fat ingredients, this is a quick and light weeknight fix.



INGREDIENTS

Cooking spray
1/2 cup finely chopped onion
1 pound lean ground beef
3 tablespoons dry breadcrumbs
2 tablespoons water
1 egg white, lightly beaten
1/4 cup (1 ounce) crumbled blue cheese
1/4 cup fat-free sour cream
4 (1-ounce) English muffins, toasted
4 (1/4-inch-thick) slices tomato


DIRECTIONS

  1. Coat a small nonstick skillet with cooking spray; place over medium heat until hot. Add onion; saute 5 minutes or until tender. Remove from heat; let cool. Combine onion, beef, breadcrumbs, water, and egg white in a large bowl; stir well. Divide mixture into 4 equal portions. 
  2. In a large nonstick skillet with cooking spray, cook burgers over medium heat for 5 mins per side, or until cooked through to your liking (can also be cooked on the grill, but our deck was covered with snow at the time, so stove-top it is!)
  3. Toast muffins. Spread 1 tablespoon sour cream and 1 tablespoon blue cheese over top half of each muffin, add tomato and burger. Enjoy!
