Recipe courtesy of Laura’s Lean Beef

Prep time: 15 minutes

Cook time: 10 minutes

Ingredients

1 pound Laura’s 96% Lean Ground Round or 96% Lean Ground Sirloin

1 cup mixed herbs (such as basil, parsley, thyme, rosemary), washed, dried, and finely chopped

6 tablespoons fat-free cream cheese at room temperature

2 teaspoons salt

1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Directions

• Set up the EGG® for direct cooking at 350 F° / 177 C°. Lightly oil the grill rack.

• Divide ground beef into four even portions; divide each portion in half again

and pat out into large flat patties. You will have 8 patties.

• In bowl, mix fresh herbs with cream cheese. Divide the herb-cheese mixture

among four of the patties, spreading it almost to the edge of each patty. Top

each patty with second patty and seal the edges by pinching them closed.

• Gently place patties on hot grill. Grill about 4 minutes, then carefully turn

and grill another 3 to 4 minutes. Serve alone or on burger buns.
