Ingredients
1-1/2 pounds lean ground sirloin
1 egg, lightly beaten
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon fresh cracked black pepper
1 medium onion, diced
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
Stir together ground beef, egg, salt and pepper in large bowl. Shape into 6 patties.
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.
In same skillet, saute onion in hot pan drippings for about 2 minutes. Add tomatoes, bouillon and ½ cup water. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 3 to 4 minutes or until bubbly.
Return patties to skillet; spoon tomato mixture over patties cover and simmer over low heat for about 15 minutes. Uncover and cook an additional 5 minutes to allow tomato mixture to reduce and thicken. Place 1 slice of cheese on each patty. Cover and cook for 2 minutes or until cheese melts.
