- 4 hamburger buns* I used Pepperidge Farms Hawaiian Buns

Skinny Special Sauce:
- 1/2 cup light mayo (115g)
- 1/4 cup ketchup (60g)
- 1/4 cup nonfat plain Greek yogurt (60g)
- 3 Tbsp finely chopped dill pickles (45g)
- 2 Tbsp yellow mustard (30g) prepared, not powdered
- 2 Tbsp onion (30g) finely diced
- 1/2 tsp of each: smoked paprika, garlic powder and onion powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp liquid sweetener or sub granular sweetener of choice
- 1/4 cup plain unsweetened almond milk or other milk of choice - add more or less milk for a thinner or thicker sauce
Instructions
For the Caramelized Onions:
- Spray a medium-sized skillet with cooking spray and set to medium heat. Add the onion and spray the tops of the onions with cooking spray as well. Cook, stirring frequently, until starting to brown. Add 1-2 tablespoons of water and continue cooking and stirring.
- Repeat this step 1-2 more times until onions are cooked to liking. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
For the Buns:
- Open the bun and spray the inside of both sides with cooking spray. Place the buns (inside facing down) onto a skillet set to medium heat. Grill for 1 minute or until toasted to liking.
For the Burgers:
- Divide the ground beef into 4 equal portions (about 4-oz. each). Shape into a burger. Dampen your hands and flatten as much as you can. Sprinkle patties generously with salt and pepper.
- Spray a skillet with cooking spray and set to medium heat. Add the burgers and cook, undisturbed for 3-4 minutes.
- Spread yellow mustard on top of each patty (about 1/2 tablespoon each or to preference). Then flip burgers so that the mustard side is facing down and continue cooking until beef is done to your liking.
- Add a cheese slice to each burger after flipping.
For the Special Sauce:
- Add all the ingredients to a small food processor or blend and blend to desired consistency.
To Assemble:
- Spread 1 tablespoon of Skinny Special Sauce to the bottom bun. Then add the pickles, tomato slice, lettuce, burger, and caramelized onions. Top with another tablespoon of Skinny Special Sauce and then the top bun. Serve with fries and more Special Sauce and enjoy!
