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
Directions
Step 1
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.
Step 2
Divide the meat mixture into 8 equal portions and flatten them into thin patties.
Step 3
Fold each slice of low-fat cheddar cheese into quarters and place one folded piece in the center of four patties.
Step 4
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.
Step 5
Preheat a non-stick skillet or grill pan over medium heat and lightly coat the surface with non-stick cooking spray.
Step 6
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).
Step 7
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.
Step 8
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.
