Lean, Mean Bronco Burger

WebMD Weight Loss Clinic members: Journal as 1 serving lean meat
without added fat + 2 slices bread + 1 ounce low-fat cheese OR 1
sandwich and burger moderate fat meat + 1 ounce low-fat cheese.

4 tablespoons canned chopped Ortega peppers
1 1/2 pounds ground sirloin (usually around 6% to 10% fat)
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
4 tablespoons barbecue sauce (your choice of brand)
2 tablespoons minced onion
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
4 whole wheat or whole grain hamburger buns
4 slices pepper Jack cheese (any cheese can be substituted)

Preheat grill (indoor or outdoor) for high heat. Add Ortega peppers,
ground sirloin, black pepper, barbecue sauce, onion, Worcestershire sauce,
and garlic powder to a large bowl. Use your hands or a dinner fork to mix
it all together well. Divide beef mixture into four balls, then flatten
into patties (about 3/4-inch thick). Grill or pan-fry burgers for about
4-5 minutes per side or until done to your liking. If pan-frying, use a
nonstick frying pan or skillet and coat both sides of the burger lightly
with canola cooking spray. Remove burgers from the grill or frying pan to
serving plate and top immediately with desired cheese. Place buns on grill
or in toaster oven to toast, if desired. Assemble burger by adding the
cheese topped burgers to the toasted buns.
