Cheese and Vegetable Stuffed Burgers

Ingredients

• 3/4 slice cheddar cheese, low fatNutrition
• 1 tbsp parsleyNutrition
• 0.12 tsp black pepperNutrition
• 1/4 tsp seasoned saltNutrition
• 1/2 tsp minced garlicNutrition
• 1/4 cup pieces or slices mushroomsNutrition
• 1/4 cup chopped onionNutrition
• 1/4 cup chopped green pepperNutrition
• 1 tbsp soy sauceNutrition
• 1 lb ground sirloinNutrition

Directions

1. 1Thoroughly combine ground beef, salt, garlic, pepper, and soy sauce.
2. 2Divide mixture into 8 equal patties (patties should be thin).
3. 3Combine remaining ingredients; divide evenly atop 4 patties.
4. 4Place another patty on top of each; seal edges (extra burgers for other meals may be refrigerated at this point until ready to cook).
5. 5Cook on a grill, or under your stove’s broiler, until done.
6. 6Finally, top with cheese; when cheese has melted, the burger is ready to serve. As a serving suggestion, “make it a combo meal” by serving with cauliflower, mashed potatoes, a low-glycemic steamed veggie, such as asparagus, and a diet non-caffeinated beverage (could be H2O).
7. 7Note: feel free to experiment with different burger seasonings, stuffings, and types of cheese, be as creative as you like!
8. 8Note 2: the interesting thing about stuffed burgers is that some ingredients are "stuffed" into the middle of the burger, so as these ingredients cook, they season the meat and contribute to its juiciness.
