• 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon hot-pepper sauce
• 6 split, 2-ounce, wheat rolls  )

Preparation

1. Combine the beef, onions, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, and hot-pepper sauce.
2. Shape into 6 equal sized burger patties.
3. Cook the burgers in a large, nonstick skillet sprayed with cooking spray over medium to medium-high heat until no longer pink, approximately 8 to 10 minutes.
4. Place one burger on the bottom half of each roll. Divide the romaine, tomatoes, and onions evenly over each burger and cover with roll top.

Note: For the wheat rolls, I like to use these recipes: Eating Well's Whole-Wheat Burger Buns & Whole and Heavenly Oven's Homemade Whole-Wheat Burger Buns. You can also buy Sandwich Thins Rolls for a quick healthy meal.
