INGREDIENTS

6 oz 93% lean ground beef

1 oz low-moisture part-skim mozzarella cheese

0.25 cup marinara sauce

1 whole sprouted grain bun

0.5 tsp garlic powder

0.5 tsp onion powder

0.25 tsp dried oregano

0.25 tsp sea salt

0.25 tsp black pepper

4 leaves fresh basil

PREPARATION

• 1

  In a medium bowl, combine the ground beef, garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, sea salt, and black pepper until well incorporated.

• 2

  Divide the beef mixture into two equal portions and flatten them into thin, wide patties.

• 3

  Place the mozzarella cheese in the center of one patty, then top with the second patty and pinch the edges firmly to seal the cheese inside.

• 4

  Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and cook the stuffed patty for 5-6 minutes per side until the beef is cooked through and the cheese is melted.

• 5

  While the burger cooks, lightly toast the sprouted grain bun and warm the marinara sauce in a small saucepan.

• 6

  Place the burger on the bottom bun, spoon the warm marinara over the top, add fresh basil leaves, and finish with the top bun.
