Ingredients

1 pound ground beef chuck (95 percent lean)

Coarse salt and ground pepper

8 slices cheddar (2 ounces)

8 whole-wheat dinner rolls, split and lightly toasted

1 cup shredded romaine lettuce

1 medium tomato, thinly sliced

16 dill pickle chips

3 tablespoons mustard

Preparation

Heat broiler, with rack in top position. Divide beef into 8 balls. Press each lightly to form 1/2-inch-thick patties and season both sides with salt and pepper. Broil patties about 5 minutes for medium. Remove from oven and top each with a cheese slice. Broil until cheese melts, about 1 minute.

Serve burgers on rolls with lettuce, tomato, pickles, and mustard.
