Mozzarella Stick Beef Burger
Juicy lean beef patty stuffed with gooey melted mozzarella, seared to perfection and served on a toasted whole grain bun with crisp garden toppings.
INGREDIENTS
6 oz 93% lean ground beef
1 oz part-skim mozzarella cheese stick
0.5 whole whole grain burger bun
0 tsp extra virgin olive oil
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
0.25 tsp garlic powder
1 large romaine lettuce leaf
2 slice tomato
1 slice red onion
PREPARATION
In a medium bowl, gently mix the ground beef with the sea salt, black pepper, and garlic powder until the seasonings are evenly distributed.
Divide the seasoned beef into two equal portions and flatten each into a thin, wide patty.
Place the mozzarella cheese stick in the center of one patty, then place the second patty on top and pinch the edges firmly to seal the cheese completely inside.
Heat the olive oil in a cast-iron skillet or non-stick pan over medium-high heat.
Place the stuffed patty in the skillet and sear for 5 to 6 minutes per side, or until the beef is cooked through and the cheese center is melted.
While the burger rests for two minutes, place the bun halves cut-side down in the skillet to lightly toast until golden.
Assemble the burger by placing the lettuce, tomato, and onion on the bottom bun, topping with the mozzarella-stuffed beef patty and the top bun.
