Skinny Cheeseburger

No matter how good I am, I occasionally get the craving for a big cheeseburger. Here's a healthier way to go about it than stopping by McDonald's.

INGREDIENTS:
1 sandwich round
4 oz. 93-97% lean ground beef
Season salt and pepper to taste
1 thin slice cheddar cheese
1T light mayo
2 tomato slices
1 lettuce leaf
Dill pickle stackers
1/2T ketchup
7-8 asparagus spears

DIRECTIONS:
Make beef into patty and salt and pepper to taste. Grill or pan fry in skillet with cooking spray (be sure to cover skillet to keep meat moist). Add cheese in last few minutes of cooking.
While burger is cooking, steam or sautee asparagus spears. Salt and pepper to taste.
Spread mayo over sandwich round. Add ketchup, pickles, lettuce and tomato. Pretend your asparagus spears are french fries and enjoy!
