Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound lean ground beef (7% fat)
- 4 slices low-fat cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cup onion
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 as needed non-stick cooking spray
Instructions
In a medium bowl, combine the lean ground beef, chopped onion, garlic powder, onion powder, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
Divide the meat mixture into 8 equal portions and flatten them into thin patties.
Fold each slice of low-fat cheddar cheese into quarters and place one folded piece in the center of four patties.
Place the remaining patties on top of the cheese-topped patties, and press the edges together to seal the cheese inside. Ensure there are no gaps to prevent the cheese from leaking during cooking.
Preheat a non-stick skillet or grill pan over medium heat and lightly coat the surface with non-stick cooking spray.
Place the stuffed burger patties on the preheated pan. Cook for about 4-5 minutes per side, ensuring the patties are browned on the outside and cooked through to an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C).
Once done, remove the patties from the heat and let them rest for a couple of minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute.
Serve the low-fat cheese-stuffed burger patties with whole-grain buns, lettuce, tomato, or any of your preferred toppings for a complete and healthy meal.
