INGREDIENTS

6 oz 93% lean ground beef

1 oz part-skim mozzarella cheese

0.5 whole sprouted grain bun

0.25 cup no-sugar-added marinara sauce

1 cup baby arugula

0.5 tsp dried oregano

0.25 tsp garlic powder

0.25 tsp sea salt

0.25 tsp black pepper

0.25 tsp avocado oil

PREPARATION

• 1

  In a medium bowl, mix the ground beef with dried oregano, garlic powder, sea salt, and black pepper until just combined.

• 2

  Divide the beef into two equal portions and flatten them into thin 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 avocado oil in a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat.

• 5

  Sear the burger for 5-6 minutes per side until the beef is cooked through and the cheese center is melted.

• 6

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

• 7

  Place the arugula on the bottom bun, top with the stuffed burger, and finish with a generous spoonful of warm marinara.
