Mozzarella Stick Beef Burger
Pan-seared lean beef patty topped with a gooey melted mozzarella cheese stick and crisp garden vegetables on a toasted whole wheat bun.
INGREDIENTS
6 oz Ground beef (93% lean)
1 whole Part-skim mozzarella cheese stick
1 whole Whole wheat burger bun
1 slice Tomato
1 slice Red onion
1 leaf Romaine lettuce
1 tsp Dijon mustard
0.25 tsp Sea salt
0.25 tsp Black pepper
0.25 tsp Garlic powder
PREPARATION
In a small bowl, combine the ground beef with sea salt, black pepper, and garlic powder, mixing gently to avoid overworking the meat.
Shape the beef into a wide patty, slightly larger than the bun, and create a small indentation in the center with your thumb to prevent bulging.
Heat a non-stick skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat and sear the patty for 4 to 5 minutes per side until cooked through.
During the last 2 minutes of cooking, cut the mozzarella cheese stick in half lengthwise and place both pieces side-by-side on top of the patty to melt.
Lightly toast the whole wheat bun in the same pan until the edges are golden and warm.
Spread the Dijon mustard on the bottom bun, then layer the lettuce, tomato, red onion, and the cheesy beef patty before closing the burger.
