Queen-of-the-Castle Sliders

Ingredients:

• 4 oz. raw extra-lean ground beef
• 2 slices light bread (40 - 45 calories each with at least 2g fiber per slice)
• 1/3 cup chopped onion
• 4 hamburger dill pickle chips
• 1/8 tsp. salt
• 1/8 tsp. onion powder
• 1/8 tsp. garlic powder
• 1/8 tsp. black pepper
• Optional condiments: ketchup and mustard

Directions:

1. Combine beef and seasonings in a small bowl, and knead mixture by hand until integrated.
2. Divide seasoned beef evenly into four balls. Flatten and form each ball into a square patty on a plate.
3. Using a knife, make four small slits on the top of each patty. Place in the freezer for 5 minutes.
4. Bring a pan sprayed with nonstick spray to medium-high heat on the stove. Spread onion out on the pan.
5. Place the patties on top of the onion, slit-side down, and cover the pan. Cook for 3 - 4 minutes (no flipping necessary), or until cooked through. (I flipped mine.)
6. Meanwhile, cut each slice of bread into four squares, for a total of eight pieces. (If you like, slightly toast bread first.) Feel free to spread ketchup and/or mustard onto four pieces. Set aside.
7. Once patties are cooked through, scoop each one along with the onion beneath it onto one piece of bread.
8. Top each with a pickle chip and then another bread piece (or the other way around, if you want to be fancy!).
9. Let cool slightly, and then slide 'em into your mouth!
