INGREDIENTS

6 oz Ground beef (93% lean)

1.5 whole Mozzarella cheese sticks

0.5 whole Whole-grain burger bun

2 tbsp No-sugar-added marinara sauce

0.5 cup Baby arugula

1 slice Tomato

0.25 tsp Sea salt

0.25 tsp Black pepper

0.25 tsp Garlic powder

0 tsp Avocado oil

PREPARATION

• 1

  Divide the ground beef into two equal portions and flatten them into thin rounds.

• 2

  Cut the mozzarella cheese sticks into small segments and place them in the center of one beef round.

• 3

  Place the second beef round over the cheese and pinch the edges tightly to ensure the cheese is completely sealed inside.

• 4

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

• 5

  Heat the avocado oil in a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat.

• 6

  Sear the patty for 4-5 minutes per side until the beef is cooked through and the cheese center is melted.

• 7

  Toast the whole-grain bun in the same skillet for 1 minute until the edges are lightly browned.

• 8

  Assemble the burger by spreading marinara sauce on the bottom bun, followed by the arugula, the stuffed patty, and the tomato slice.
