Preparation

Step 1

In a medium bowl, combine ground beef, salt and pepper; divide mixture into 8 equal portions and shape each into a 1/4-inch thick patty. Heat a skillet coated with cooking spray over medium-high heat; add patties and cook for 3 minutes per side or until they reach desired level of doneness. Spread the bottom half of each roll with 3/4 teaspoon pesto and top each with 1 tomato slice, 1 beef patty, 3/4 teaspoon shaved cheese and the top half of the bun.
