Why this works
A filling, high-protein burger meal, but it is also fairly high in calories, saturated fat and sodium.
Good protein content. The mince, egg and cheese provide a substantial amount of protein, which supports satiety and muscle maintenance.
High sodium concern. Added salt, cheese slices, burger sauce and condiments push sodium up, so this is not a low-salt option.
Saturated fat source. Cheese slices and regular mince contribute notable saturated fat, which can add up if eaten regularly.
Method
- Finely chop the yellow onion. In a bowl, combine the mince, egg, chopped onion, mustard, and a little ketchup. Mix gently until just combined.
- Shape the mixture into 4 even patties. If you have time, chill them for 10 minutes to help them hold their shape.
- Heat a little cooking oil in a frying pan over a medium-high heat. Cook the burgers for 4–5 minutes on each side, until browned and cooked through.
- Lay a cheese slice on each burger for the final minute of cooking, then cover the pan briefly so the cheese melts.
- Toast the burger buns if using. Spread burger sauce on the bottom bun, add the burger, and finish with extra ketchup or mustard if desired. Serve immediately.
