Fantastic Summer Burger Recipe

Hi all! As promised, a recipe perfect for the 4th of July festivities! Not only is this a tasty burger but it packs a whopping 27 grams of protein per burger and a mere 263 calories.

What you need:

• 1 egg
• 1 lb lean ground beef
• 1/2 cup oats
• 1/3 cup diced onion (the smaller the better)
• 1/2 cup chopped spinach (fresh or frozen and again the smaller the better)
• 2 Tbsp reduced fat mexican blend cheese
• salt and pepper to taste
• 4 Whole-grain buns

In a large bowl, whisk the egg. Add everything else and mix (your hands work the best here). Divide and shape in to four patties. Grill.

Be sure to load this up with veggies: lettuce, tomato, avocado (healthy fat), ketchup (free condiment), mustard etc. Enjoy this super yummy meal.

BTW - These burgers freeze really well so you can make a double batch, freeze half and have a ready made dinner on another night.
