Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground beef (90% lean)
- 0.25 cup Unsalted breadcrumb
- 1 tablespoon Low sodium Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
- 2 ounces Low sodium cheese (like Swiss or Monterey Jack), cut into small cubes
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
Directions
Step 1
In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, unsalted breadcrumbs, low sodium Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, and freshly ground black pepper. Mix until all ingredients are well incorporated, but do not overwork the mixture.
Step 2
Divide the beef mixture into four equal portions and flatten each portion into a patty about 1/2 inch thick.
Step 3
Place an equal amount of cheese cubes in the center of two of the patties, spreading them out evenly to about 1 inch from the edge.
Step 4
Place the remaining two patties on top of the cheese-stuffed patties. Seal the edges by pinching them together tightly to ensure the cheese stays inside while cooking.
Step 5
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Step 6
Once the oil is hot, gently place the patties in the skillet. Cook for about 5 minutes on one side until browned, then carefully flip and cook for another 5 minutes, or until fully cooked and the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).
Step 7
Once cooked, remove the patties from the skillet and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
Step 8
Serve on whole grain buns with your choice of low sodium condiments and toppings.
