Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams lean ground beef
- 100 grams low-fat cheddar cheese
- 50 grams oats
- 1 large egg
- 1 medium onion
- 2 cloves garlic
- 50 grams spinach
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Finely chop the onion and garlic cloves.
In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic, sautéing for about 2-3 minutes until fragrant.
Add the spinach to the skillet and cook for an additional 2 minutes until wilted. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the lean ground beef, sautéed onion, garlic and spinach mixture, oats, low-fat cheddar cheese, and Worcestershire sauce.
Crack the egg into the bowl, then add the salt and black pepper. Mix everything together thoroughly until well combined.
Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape them into patties about 1-inch thick.
Preheat a non-stick skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat.
Cook the patties for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).
Serve the patties hot, along with your choice of whole-grain bun or salad for a complete heart-healthy meal.
