Cheese-Filled Burgers

The perfect healthy burger for summertime and backyard BBQ's.Cheese-Stuffed Burger
There’s nothing quite as satisfying as a hot-off-the-grill burger during the summertime. The problems with most burgers is the high-fat, low quality meat used to make the burger, or the overly processed white bread bun that it comes wrapped in. Low quality meats are loaded with an abundance of fat and hormones and white buns are filled with and simple carbs, both of which are easily stored as unwanted fat. ​

This recipe for Cheese-Stuffed Lettuce Wrapped Burgers gives you that burger taste and satisfaction that you love, and toss the bun aside to avoid the guilt, and fat-packing downside. To make this burger even tastier, and to really make you forget about the bun, I placed a cube of fresh mozzarella cheese in the center of each patty – making every bite a cheesy, ooey-gooey experience. 

Servings: 4 

Here’s what you need...
  • 1 Tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 yellow onion, sliced
  • 1 lb grass fed lean ground beef (or bison)
  • 1 Tablespoon ketchup
  • 1 Tablespoon yellow or deli mustard
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • ¼teaspoon garlic powder
  • 4 oz mozzarella (or provolone), cut into 4, 1-inch cubes
  • 1 head butter lettuce
  • 1 tomato, sliced

  1. Place the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sliced onion and cook until tender, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
  2. Preheat your grill to medium-high.
  3. In a large bowl combine the beef, ketchup, mustard, salt, pepper and garlic powder. Mix with your hands until the ingredients are fully combined. Divide the meat into 4 equally sized balls.
  4. Press a piece of mozzarella into the center of each ball of meat, and flatten into a patty. Make sure to keep the mozzarella fully covered on all sides.
  5. Grill the patties for 4-5 minutes per side, until cooked to your desired doneness.
  6. Assemble the burgers with a large piece of lettuce, a slice of tomato and a spoonful of tender onions. Enjoy!
