Lean Mean Cheeseburger

Ingredients:

• 1 pound ground beef (95% lean)
• 2 tablespoons quick-cooking oats
• ½ teaspoon steak seasoning blend
• 4 seeded or whole wheat hamburger buns, split
• 4 slices low-fat cheese, such as Cheddar or American

Toppings:

• Lettuce leaves, tomato slices (optional)

Instructions:

1. Place oats in food-safe plastic bag. Seal bag securely, squeezing out excess air. Roll over bag with rolling pin to crush oats to a fine consistency.
2. Combine ground beef, oats, and steak seasoning blend in large bowl, mixing lightly but thoroughly. Lightly shape into four 1/2-inch patties.
3. Place patties on grid over medium, ash-covered coals. Grill, uncovered, 11 to 13 minutes to medium (160°F) doneness, until no longer pink in center and juices show no pink color, turning occasionally.
4. Line bottom of each bun with lettuce and tomato, if desired; top with burger and cheese slice. Close sandwiches.
