Cheeseburger

Well you have probably guessed that kids wanted takeaway tonight and as I am not a huge fan of that idea to start with, I decided it would be nicer, tastier and more cost effective to make the request of takeaway at home.

So Alexandria requested a "Cheeseburger just like you get at McDonald's" while Oliver decided he would love to have a Hamburger with the Lot.

So here is my take on the McDonald's cheeseburger, a little larger and minus the paper wrapping!

Cheeseburger

Serves 1

1 hamburger patty

1 hamburger bun

1 slice cheese *

1 tablespoon white or brown onion finely diced

1 tablespoon tomato sauce

2 teaspoons american mustard

1 slice of pickle (if desired)

3
In a small frypan sprayed with cooking spray cook hamburger pattie (see recipe) for 3 minutes each side or until cooked through.
3
Meanwhile cut hamburger bun in half and toast the inside only.
3
In a small microwave proof dish cook onion in microwave for 1 minute or until soft and transparent.
3
Once the patty is cooked remove from heat. Place the base of the bun on a plate and top with 2 teaspoons of tomato sauce, place hamburger patty on top followed by sliced cheese, onions, pickle if using, remaining tomato sauce and mustard, finally adding the bun top.

* Use the cheese slice of your choice. I used a slice of tasty cheese as my kids don't really enjoy the processed "plastic" cheese. In this case I have allowed 2.5 points for the cheese but if you used a Superslim or a WW slice it would only be 0.5 points. Total of 6.5 points if you use the lighter cheese and only half the hamburger patty. A different bun could be used to reduce the points even more.
