Mozzarella Stick Beef Burger
Pan-seared lean beef patty topped with gooey baked mozzarella sticks and fresh garden toppings on a toasted whole grain bun.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz 93% lean ground beef
2 whole part-skim mozzarella sticks
0.5 whole whole wheat burger bun
1 leaf romaine lettuce
2 slice tomato
0 tsp avocado oil
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
0.25 tsp garlic powder
1 tbsp sugar-free ketchup
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F and place the mozzarella sticks on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Bake the mozzarella sticks for 5 to 7 minutes until they are soft and heated through, but not yet bursting.
In a small bowl, season the ground beef with sea salt, black pepper, and garlic powder, then gently form it into a single patty.
Heat the avocado oil in a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat and sear the beef patty for 4 minutes on each side until cooked to your preference.
During the last minute of cooking, place the halved burger bun cut-side down in the skillet to lightly toast.
Spread the sugar-free ketchup on the bottom bun, then layer with the lettuce and tomato slices.
Place the beef patty on top of the vegetables and crown it with the warm mozzarella sticks.
Close the burger with the top bun and serve immediately while the cheese is stretchy.
