Mozzarella Stick Beef Burger with Marinara
Pan-seared lean beef patty stuffed with a melty mozzarella core and topped with zesty marinara, served on a toasted bun for a savory finish.
INGREDIENTS
6 oz 93% lean ground beef
1 whole low-moisture part-skim mozzarella cheese stick
0 whole whole wheat burger bun
2 tbsp marinara sauce
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
0.25 tsp garlic powder
0.5 tsp olive oil
1 leaf butter lettuce
1 slice tomato
PREPARATION
Divide the ground beef into two equal portions and flatten them into thin, even patties.
Cut the mozzarella cheese stick into three smaller pieces and place them in the center of one beef patty.
Place the second patty over the cheese and pinch the edges together firmly to ensure the mozzarella is fully encased.
Season both sides of the stuffed patty with sea salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and sear the burger for 5-6 minutes per side until the beef is cooked through and the cheese is melted.
While the burger rests, lightly toast the whole wheat bun in the same skillet until the edges are golden.
Warm the marinara sauce in a small saucepan or microwave until heated through.
Assemble the burger by placing the lettuce and tomato on the bottom bun, followed by the stuffed patty.
Spoon the warm marinara sauce over the patty and top with the remaining bun half.
