Anybody here that doesn’t love a good burger?

And what could be better than a little Mexican thrown in! I know I sure do, and I do still enjoy them, I just make sure to only ever buy the extra lean ground beef, you sometimes need to add a little sumpin’ sumpin’, this will ensure that they are not too dry and tasteless and fall apart on you…I haven’t tried these yet, so I am not sure if it is an issue yet…I’ll get back to ya!

2 oz Kraft 2% Milk Natural Cheese Monterey Jack Cheese, 1/2 Slice for each burger
4 leaf Boston lettuce
4 slices tomatoes
1 lb cooked ground beef 5-7% fat
2 Arnold Select multigrain sandwich thins, toasted if you like (you actually four needed but WW math was throwing the points value off!)

Instructions

Combine first 4 ingredients, ground beef and 2 tablespoons salsa. Divide mixture into 4 equal portions, shaping each into a 1/2-inch-thick patty.

2. Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Coat pan with cooking spray. Add patties to pan; cook 5 minutes on each side or until desired degree of doneness. Top each patty with 1/2 cheese slice; cook 1 minute or until cheese melts.
