INGREDIENTS

4.5 oz 93% Lean ground beef

1 whole Part-skim mozzarella sticks

0.5 whole Sprouted grain bun

0.25 cup Marinara sauce

0 tsp Extra virgin olive oil

0.25 tsp Sea salt

0.25 tsp Black pepper

0.25 tsp Garlic powder

2 leaves Butter lettuce

PREPARATION

• 1

  Preheat a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil.

• 2

  In a small bowl, season the ground beef with sea salt, black pepper, and garlic powder, then form into a wide, flat patty.

• 3

  Place the beef patty in the hot skillet and sear for 4 minutes until a brown crust forms.

• 4

  Flip the burger and immediately place the mozzarella sticks (cut in half if needed to fit) on top of the patty.

• 5

  Cover the skillet with a lid for 2-3 minutes to allow the cheese to melt into a gooey consistency.

• 6

  While the burger finishes, lightly toast the sprouted grain bun in a separate pan or toaster until golden.

• 7

  Warm the marinara sauce in a small saucepan over low heat until simmering.

• 8

  Place the butter lettuce on the bottom bun, top with the cheesy beef patty, pour over the warm marinara, and finish with the top bun.
