Ingredients

The following ingredients have 6 Servings
  • 2 light hamburger buns
  • 1 small red onion (about 3/4 cup total)
  • 2 plum tomatoes
  • 3/4 pound extra-lean ground beef
  • 1/2 cup sliced dill pickles
  • 3/4 cup ketchup
  • 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
  • 12 cups chopped romaine lettuce
  • 1 cup shredded reduced fat cheese

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Slice bun tops and bottoms into ¼-in. (6-mm) strips. Arrange in a single layer on baking sheet and bake 8—10 minutes or until lightly toasted. Remove to a cooling rack; cool completely.
  • Cut onion in half crosswise. Slice half of the onion crosswise into thin rings using a sharp knife or mandolin. Cut tomatoes lengthwise into quarters and slice crosswise. Set onion and tomatoes aside.
  • Put beef in saute pan over medium-high heat and cook 5—7 minutes or until no longer pink, breaking beef into crumbles.
  • Meanwhile, finely chop the remaining half onion. Finely dice pickles. In a large bowl, combine chopped onion, pickles, ketchup and mustard. Add cooked beef and mix well.
  • To serve, arrange lettuce on large serving platter. Spoon beef mixture over lettuce. Top with cheese, tomatoes and sliced onion. Arrange hamburger bun croutons around edge of platter. 
  • Serve immediately.
