  • 2 tablespoon ketchup (Heinz reduced sugar ketchup)
  • 12 ounces tomatoes (2 tomatoes, sliced thin)

We recommend you get your ingredients ready before you start cooking. Once you're ready, here are the steps to making this delicious recipe

How to Make

  • Step 1: In a small bowl mix together the spread ingredients, and refrigerate.

  • Step 2: Heat your frying pan or skillet on medium heat, and add a little butter to the pan.

  • Step 3: In a large bowl, mix together the beef, salt, pepper, Worcestershire, oregano and ketchup.

  • Step 4: Divide the mixture into 6 sections, and roll each piece into a ball, then press down flat and place on the grill pan.

  • Step 5: Cook each burger for about 5 minutes on each side. Do not press down the burgers, that just dries them out, and makes them tough.

  • Step 6: Once you flip the burgers, and the other side has about 2 minutes to cook, put 1 slice of cheese on each burger.

  • Step 7: Once you have cooked all your burgers and removed them from the pan, assemble them.

  • Step 8: Place 1 cheeseburger on the lettuce leaf, top with 2 slices of tomato, 1 slice of onion, and a spoonful of spread, then wrap top to bottom with another lettuce leaf.

  • Step 9: Serve.
