Yield: 1 serving
Ingredients: 5 oz 93% lean ground beef; 1 1/2 tsp Italian seasoning; 1/2 tsp garlic powder; 1/4 tsp salt; 1/4 tsp black pepper; 2 1/2 tbsp panko breadcrumbs; 1 hamburger bun, split; 4 olive oil cooking sprays; 2 tbsp shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese; 1 1/2 tbsp marinara sauce; 1/2 tsp dried oregano

Heat a 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the panko, half the Italian seasoning, and half the garlic powder. Stir constantly until the crumbs are golden and fragrant, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a small plate.
Wipe out the skillet and return to medium-high heat. Place the bun halves cut-side down and cook until golden, about 1 minute. Remove the buns and set aside.
In a bowl, mix the ground beef with the remaining Italian seasoning, remaining garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Form into a 1-inch-thick patty.
Coat the skillet with cooking spray. Add the patty and cook until well browned on the bottom, about 4 minutes.
Flip the patty and top with the mozzarella. Cover the skillet with a lid and cook until the cheese is melted and the burger reaches 160°F, about 3 to 4 minutes.
While the burger finishes, mix the marinara sauce and oregano in a small bowl and microwave for 30 seconds until warm. Place the patty on the bottom bun, spoon the marinara over the cheese, and sprinkle heavily with the toasted panko. Add the top bun.
