Ingredients

1 pound extra lean, ground buffalo

1 small vvidalia or other sweet onion, finely chopped (about 1/4 cup)

1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/8 teaspoon freshly ground pepper

4 slices 2% sharp cheddar

4 whole grain hamburger buns

4 romaine lettuce leaves, trimmed

4 tomato slices

Directions

1) In a medium bowl, combine the buffalo, onion, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper; mix well to combine. Divide and shape the mixture into 4 balls.

2) Spray a nonstick skillet with nonstick spray and heat over medium-high heat (or you can also grill). Cook burgers 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare. After flipping put the cheese on to melt.

3) Toast the hamburger buns. Place the bottoms on 4 plates. Top each with 1 lettuce leaf, 1 tomato slice, and a burger. Place to top on the bun.
