1 pound 93% lean ground beef
1/4 cup minced fresh onion
1/4 cup (1 ounce) crumbled blue cheese

1/8 teaspoon black pepper
4 (1.8 ounce) white-wheat hamburger buns
4 (1/4-inch-thick) slices tomato
4 green leaf lettuce leaves

Directions:
1. Combine first 5 ingredients in a medium bowl; stir well. Divide beef mixture into 4 equal portions, shaping each into a 1/2-inch-thick patty.
2. Heat nonstick grill pan over medium-high heat. Place hamburger patties in pan, and cook 6 minutes on each side or until desired degree of doneness.
3. Top bottom half of each bun with one patty, tomato, and lettuce, if desired, and remaining half of bun.

Thoughts:
I haven't had a hamburger in a while, but this one was one of the best of had. I love blue cheese, so that was a plus, but even for people who aren't a big fan of it (my mom) it wasn't too overpowering.
