My Favorite Homemade Burger

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.

Caramelize the onion in olive oil until golden brown.

Grill or pan-fry the ground beef patties until cooked to desired doneness, seasoning with salt and pepper if desired.

Place the cooked beef patties on the bottom half of the brioche buns.

Top each patty with a slice of cheddar cheese and allow it to melt slightly.

Add the caramelized onion on top of the melted cheese.

Layer the slice of tomato on top of the onion.

Spread burger sauce on the top half of the brioche buns.

Close the burgers with the top buns and serve immediately.
