cheddar cheese

🥗Healthier: reduced-fat cheese

💰Cheaper: processed cheese

Reduced-fat cheese lowers calories while maintaining flavor.

burger buns

🥗Healthier: whole grain buns

💰Cheaper: white bread

Whole grain buns add fiber, while white bread is often cheaper.

ground beef

🥗Healthier: ground turkey

💰Cheaper: ground pork

Ground turkey is leaner; ground pork is often less expensive.

onion

🥗Healthier: green onion

💰Cheaper: onion powder

Green onion adds freshness; onion powder is a budget-friendly alternative.

Cut the top off the unseated hamburger bun to create a club level.

Preheat a flat top grill to medium-high heat.

Form two 3-ounce meatballs from ground chuck.

Place the meatballs on the flat top and let them warm up to melt the fat.

Smash the meatballs down on the flat top to create thin patties.

Season the patties with kosher salt.

Cook until little holes form and grease bubbles up, indicating it's time to flip.

Flip the patties and immediately place cheese on top to melt.

Toast the buns lightly on the flat top while the patties cook.

Assemble the burger by placing shredded lettuce on the bottom bun, followed by onion and tomato.

Add the first patty on top of the vegetables, then place the club level on top.

Add the second patty on top of the club level.

Spread a thin layer of mayo on the top bun and add pickle chips before closing the burger.
