Ingredients
  • 1-1/2 pounds lean ground sirloin
  • 1 egg, lightly beaten
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon fresh cracked black pepper

  • 2 (14.5 oz) cans fire-roasted diced tomatoes
  • 1 teaspoon beef base or bouillon granules
  • 6 (1 oz) slices Swiss cheese, reduced-fat
  • ¼ cup chopped fresh basil
Instructions
  1. Stir together ground beef, egg, salt and pepper in large bowl. Shape into 6 patties.
  2. Place patties in large skillet over medium-high heat for 4 to 5 minutes of each side or until browned. Remove from skillet and set aside.
