Over 5,000 Wendy's restaurants around the world serve the hamburger with the unique square patty that hangs over the edge of the bun. It's the burger that inspired the 1984 award-winning ad campaign that had a little old lady crying out, "Where's the beef?" With this secret recipe to create a lower-fat clone of the famous burger, the questions is now, "Where's the fat?" By using super-lean ground beef, fat-free mayonnaise, and fat-free cheese, we have cut the fat to less than half of what is found in the original. Now you can have two cloned burgers for less than the fat found in one original.

Nutrition Facts
Serving size--1 sandwich
Total servings--1
Calories per serving--335 / Original--420
Fat per serving--10 g / Original--21 g
1 plain hamburger bun
1/4-pound super lean ground beef (7 percent fat)
salt
pepper
1 teaspoon ketchup
1/2 tablespoon fat-free mayonnaise
1 slice fat-free American cheese
1/2 teaspoon yellow mustard
1 lettuce leaf
2 to 3 separated onion slices
1 large tomato slice
3 dill pickle slices

1. Brown the faces of the bun in a large frying pan over medium heat. Keep the pan hot.

2. On wax paper, shape the ground beef into an approximately 4 x 4-inch square. You may find it easier to freeze the patty ahead of time, so that it doesn't fall apart when cooking. Don't defrost.

3. Cook the burger in the pan for 3 to 5 minutes per side, or until done. Salt and pepper both sides during the cooking.

4. Spread the ketchup and the mayonnaise on the top bun.

5. Put the cooked patty on the bottom bun. On top of the meat, lay the slice of cheese.

6. Spread the mustard on the cheese, then place the lettuce, onion, tomato, and pickles on, in that order.

7. Complete the sandwich with the top bun and microwave the whole thing for 15 to 20 seconds to warm it up.

Serves 1.
