Cheeseburger

Just 6 WW SmartPoints for this cheeseburger that has real ground beef, a normal size bun and a slice of Velveeta cheese.

 

I used Trader Joe's brand 96% lean ground beef, Trader Joe's Whole Wheat hamburger buns, a slice of Velveeta cheese , pickles, lettuce and tomato! The beef is not crazy juicy but not terribly dry either. It's a good tasty burger for weeknight summer grilling for sure.
