🥗Healthier: ground turkey

💰Cheaper: ground pork

Ground turkey is leaner, while ground pork is often less expensive.

cheddar cheese

🥗Healthier: reduced-fat cheese

💰Cheaper: American cheese

Reduced-fat cheese lowers calories without sacrificing flavor.

Heat a skillet over medium heat and add ground beef.

Cook the beef until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula, about 5-7 minutes.

Add chopped onion and green bell pepper to the skillet; cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes.

Stir in minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.

Pour in tomato sauce, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, and ketchup; mix well.

Season with salt and black pepper to taste; simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Toast hamburger buns in a separate skillet until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes.

Spoon the beef mixture onto the bottom half of each bun.

Top with slices of cheddar cheese, pickles, and lettuce as desired.

Cover with the top half of the bun and serve immediately.
