Recipe: 320-Calorie Burger

This is the second recipe I lifted from "Cook This, Not That!" It's not as good as the California Avocado BLT burger of Food Network but for 320 calories, I'd say 3/5.

First, tips on the recipe:
It is very important that the burger is seasoned well since it is what makes this recipe so feel free to be creative and add more spices when you make your patties (the recipe only indicates adding salt and pepper to the ground sirloin). Make sure that you don't overcook the patties or you'll have a dry burger since this recipe does not use any kind of sauce.

Pros:
- it's 320 calories
- it's a burger
- it's filling but it's not too heavy
- caramelized onion + burger is just perfect
- it's ready in 30 minutes

Cons:
- it can be really dry if you overcook the patties
- can be bland if patties or the onions aren't seasoned well
- no cheese!
