Sometimes, a meatless burger patty just won't do the trick. BEEF RULES. Add some crispy bacon, melted cheese, and guilt-free stats, and what have you got? THIS RECIPE!

Ingredients:
One 100-calorie flat sandwich bun (like Arnold/Brownberry/Oroweat Sandwich Thins)

1/2 lettuce leaf
1 large tomato slice
1 slice center-cut bacon or turkey bacon
4 oz. raw extra-lean ground beef (4% fat or less)

1 tbsp. liquid egg whites (about half a large egg white)

Dash each salt and black pepper

Dash garlic powder

Dash onion powder
1 slice fat-free cheddar or American cheese

Optional toppings: mustard, ketchup, hamburger dill pickle chips

Directions:
Split bun into halves, and top the bottom half with lettuce and tomato.

Cook bacon until crispy, either in a skillet over medium heat or on a microwave-safe plate in the microwave. (See package for cook time.)

In a medium bowl, thoroughly mix beef, egg whites, and seasonings. Evenly form into a patty about 4 inches wide.

Bring a grill pan (or skillet) sprayed with nonstick spray to medium-high heat. Cook patty for 3 - 4 minutes per side, or until cooked to your preference.

Top patty with cheese and cook until melted, about 45 seconds.

Transfer cheese-topped patty to the bottom half of the bun. Break bacon in half, and place over the patty. Finish it off with the top half of the bun!
