cheddar cheese

🥗Healthier: reduced-fat cheese

💰Cheaper: American cheese

Reduced-fat cheese saves calories, while American cheese is often cheaper.

burger buns

🥗Healthier: whole grain buns

💰Cheaper: white bread

Whole grain buns add fiber, while white bread can be more affordable.

pickles

🥗Healthier: cucumber slices

💰Cheaper: no pickles

Cucumber slices provide freshness without the added sodium of pickles.

Form the ground beef into 5 or 6 patties.

Cook the thinly sliced onions in a pan until softened (optional).

Cook the patties on a hot griddle or skillet, smashing them down to create a crust.

Add sliced American cheese on top of the patties to melt.

Assemble the burgers with thicker sliced onions, condiments, and the gluten-free buns.
