Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb extra-lean ground beef
- 0.5 cup reduced-fat cheddar cheese, shredded
- 0.5 cup onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 large egg white
- 0.25 cup whole wheat breadcrumbs
- 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- olive oil spray
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the extra-lean ground beef, shredded reduced-fat cheddar cheese, chopped onion, and minced garlic.
Add the egg white, whole wheat breadcrumbs, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper to the bowl.
Mix the ingredients gently with your hands or a spatula until everything is well combined, being careful not to overmix.
Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape each portion into a patty, about 1/2 inch thick.
Preheat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly coat with olive oil spray.
Place the beef patties in the skillet and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C), and the patties are well-browned and cooked through.
Remove the patties from the skillet and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
Serve the Low Fat Cheesy Beef Patties on whole grain buns or as a protein addition to salads or wraps.
