INGREDIENTS

6 oz Ground beef (93% lean)

1 whole Low-moisture part-skim mozzarella cheese stick

1 whole Whole wheat sandwich thin bun

1 tbsp Sugar-free marinara sauce

0.5 tsp Olive oil

0.25 tsp Sea salt

0.25 tsp Black pepper

0.25 tsp Garlic powder

0.25 tsp Onion powder

1 leaf Romaine lettuce

PREPARATION

• 1

  Divide the ground beef into two equal portions and flatten them into thin, even discs.

• 2

  Cut the mozzarella stick into three equal pieces and place them in the center of one beef disc.

• 3

  Place the second beef disc on top and pinch the edges firmly to seal the cheese inside, ensuring no gaps remain.

• 4

  Season both sides of the stuffed patty evenly with sea salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.

• 5

  Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.

• 6

  Carefully place the patty in the skillet and cook for 5-6 minutes per side until the beef is cooked through and the cheese center is melted.

• 7

  While the burger cooks, lightly toast the whole wheat sandwich thin until the edges are crisp.

• 8

  Assemble the burger by placing the romaine lettuce on the bottom bun, followed by the stuffed patty and a dollop of marinara sauce.
