Note: This recipe appears in the South Beach Diet Quick & Easy Cookbook. There is nothing like having an old-fashioned burger for dinner. I'm so used to making ans eating gourmet burgers I just wanted try try a basic all-American burger. It was delicious. I highly recommend adding a minced clove of garlic and a teaspoon of Worcestershire sauce for a little more flavor. Plus, all the toppings will fill you up and you won't be hungry afterwards.  South Beach burgers are so delicious you will never go to a fast food joint if you're craving for a burger.
