Name: Healthy Homemade Cheeseburgers
Yield: Makes 4 servings
Ingredients: 3/4 lb extra-lean ground beef (or bison); 2 tbsp finely chopped onion; 2 tbsp chili sauce; 1 tsp Dijon mustard; 4 slices (about 3/4 oz each) reduced-fat cheddar; 4 whole-wheat hamburger buns; Lettuce and tomato slices

Patty savvy: With a mere 12 minutes of prep time and more meat for fewer calories, a homemade burger can't be beat. Ours uses extra-lean ground beef; fast food makers go for cheaper, fattier grinds. And our patty is sandwiched between a whole-wheat bun for a fiber hit.
