Skinny, Mini Burgers on a Stick

Skinny, Mini Burgers on a Stick

Ingredients
  

Ingredients for Burgers:

  • Cooking spray
  • 1 pound extra lean ground beef, see shopping tip
  • 1 egg white
  • 1 cup onion, grated or minced small
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 tablespoons barbecue sauce
  • ½  teaspoon Lawry’s seasoning salt or ¼ teaspoon salt
  • Fresh ground pepper, to taste

Ingredients for Thousand Island Dressing:

  • 1½  tablespoons ketchup
  • 1½  tablespoons mustard
  • 1½  tablespoons light mayonnaise
  • ½  tablespoon relish

Ingredients for Sticks:

  • 28 toothpicks
  • 28 pieces of romaine lettuce
  • 28 grape or small cherry tomatoes

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking sheet with foil and lightly coat with cooking spray. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl, combine all ingredients for burgers. Using clean hands, mix until well combined. Roll mixture (⅛ cup each) into 28 round mini burgers (like meatballs).
  • Place burgers onto baking sheet and bake until cooked through about 16-18 minutes.
  • While burgers are baking, prepare Thousand Island dressing. In a small bowl, mix together the ketchup, mustard, mayonnaise and relish. Next, cut the lettuce into pieces and wash grape tomatoes. Note: These sticks come together quickly, if you prep everything while burgers are baking.
  • Remove burgers from oven. You’ll notice all the fat from the meat has oozed out onto baking sheet. Using a slotted spoon or spatula, remove burgers to a plate. Dip top of each burger into Thousand Island dressing.
  • To make each: using a toothpick, add 1 burger, next lettuce and top with 1 grape tomato. Serve immediately. Mini burgers will last in fridge for several days and can be reheated. You can store any leftover burgers in freezer.
