Mozzarella Stick Beef Burger with Marinara
Lean beef patty stuffed with gooey mozzarella sticks and pan-seared until juicy, served on a toasted bun with zesty marinara and fresh spinach.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz Ground beef (93% lean)
2 whole Part-skim mozzarella cheese sticks
0.5 whole Whole-grain burger bun
0.25 cup Marinara sauce
1 cup Baby spinach
0.25 tsp Sea salt
0.25 tsp Black pepper
0.25 tsp Garlic powder
0 tsp Avocado oil
PREPARATION
In a medium bowl, combine the ground beef with sea salt, black pepper, and garlic powder until well incorporated.
Cut the mozzarella cheese sticks in half to create four shorter pieces.
Divide the seasoned beef into two equal, thin patties.
Place the cheese stick pieces in the center of one patty, then place the second patty on top and pinch the edges firmly to seal the cheese inside.
Heat the avocado oil in a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat.
Place the stuffed patty in the skillet and cook for 5 to 6 minutes per side, ensuring the beef is fully cooked and the cheese center has melted.
Lightly toast the whole-grain bun in the skillet or a toaster until golden brown.
Assemble the burger by spreading the marinara sauce on the bottom bun, layering the baby spinach, and topping with the juicy mozzarella-stuffed patty.
