Ingredients:

1 egg

1/4 c. rolled oats

2 Tbsp. ketchup

3/4 tsp. dried Italian seasoning, crushed

1/4 tsp. garlic powder

1/4 tsp. onion powder

1/4 tsp. salt

3/4 lb. lean ground beef

4 oz. reduced-fat mozzarella cheese, sliced

Lettuce leaves (optional)

Tomato slices (optional)

Ketchup and/or other condiments (optional)

4 whole wheat or Kaiser rolls, split and toasted

 

Directions:

In a medium mixing bowl, beat egg slightly with a fork.  Stir in the oats, 2 Tbsp. ketchup, dried Italian seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder and salt.  Add ground beef; mix well.  Shape mixture into four 3/4 inch thick patties.

 

Place patties on the unheated rack of a broiler pan.  Broil 3-4 inches from the heat for 12-14 minutes or until an instant read thermometer inserted in the side of the patty registers 160 degrees, turning once.  Top with cheese; broil about 1 minute more or until cheese is melted.

 

Serve hot pizza burgers on toasted buns or Kaiser rolls with lettuce, tomato slices and additional condiments, if desired.
