Cheat Healthy

Blue Cheese Stuffed Burgers
 
Bo loves burgers, like really loves them. However, he needed a healthier option. After hearing him ask for a blue cheese burger, we decided to step it up in the kitchen and make these bad boys.
 
This recipe is super simple too!
 
 
 
For the burger:
  • 1 lb. Extra-lean ground grass-fed beef
  • 1/4 cup really good blue cheese
  • salt and pepper

To make the stuffed  burger you first want to score and separate your meat into 8 equal disks, and make a tiny little well in the middle, this is where you will add 1 tbs. of blue cheese into 4 of the holes. Next, top each stuffed half with one of the empty disks. Slightly pinch around the edges to seal the blue cheese inside. Season the outside with salt and pepper. We seared ours in a little olive oil on the stove for about 4 minutes on each side, but grilling them would be awesome too! It was like a monsoon outside so we had to stay indoors.

For the toppings we chose to omit the bun and wrap with lettuce (Bo likes it protein style). We also used some No Fructose Corn syrup ketchup, 0% Fage Greek yogurt, avocado, and tomatoes!
 
 
Enjoy,
Lauren
