How can I make a low-cholesterol burger?

Nothing satisfies quite like a juicy burger, and cholesterol-friendly choices can make it more than an occasional treat. Opt for smart-size, 3-ounce patties made with 90 percent lean ground beef to trim the saturated fat (and cholesterol). Replace some of the meat with cooked bulgur or finely chopped mushrooms to slash the cholesterol even more. Keep an eye on the extras, too. Use a whole-grain bun, add a slice of creamy, cholesterol-lowering avocado instead of cheese, and slather on mustard rather than mayo.
