INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Lean Ground Beef
1 ounce Part-Skim Mozzarella Cheese
1/4 cup Marinara Sauce
1 Whole Wheat Bun
1/2 teaspoon Dried Oregano
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat and lightly oil the surface.
In a bowl, season the lean ground beef with salt, pepper, and dried oregano. Mix well to evenly distribute the spices.
Divide the beef mixture into two equal portions. Flatten each portion into a disc.
Place a slice of mozzarella in the center of one disc and cover with the second disc, sealing the edges carefully to encase the cheese completely.
Gently form the stuffed patty ensuring there are no gaps where the cheese might leak out during cooking.
Place the patty on the preheated grill or skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F and the mozzarella is melted.
Warm the marinara sauce in a small saucepan over low heat or in the microwave.
Toast the whole wheat bun lightly on the grill or in a toaster.
Assemble the burger by placing the cooked patty on the bun and drizzling with warmed marinara sauce.
Serve immediately and enjoy your flavorful, protein-packed meal.
