This classic burger elements become a deconstructed take on a diner favorite. Instead of four burger patties, we cook just two, then chop and sprinkle them over the top. A handful of crushed potato chips adds crunch. Kick up the dressing with a pinch of ground red pepper.

    •    12 ounces 90% lean ground sirloin
    •    1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
    •    1 1/2 ounces reduced-fat kettle-cooked potato chips
    •    1 (about 10 onuce) package chopped romaine hearts
    •    1 large red onion, peeled and cut horizontally into 1/4 inch thick slices
    •    3 ounces 2% reduced-fat cheddar cheese, shredded (about 3/4 cup)
