Ingredients
-
1/4 cup fine dry bread crumbs
-
3 tablespoons skim milk
-
1/4 cup finely chopped onion
-
2 tablespoons snipped fresh parsley
-
1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese
-
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder

1/8 teaspoon pepper
-
3/4 pound lean ground beef

1 medium tomato, sliced
-
1/8 teaspoon dried oregano, crushed

1/4 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
Directions
1.
In a medium mixing bowl stir together bread crumbs, milk, onion, parsley, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, and pepper. Add meat; mix well. Shape into four 3/4-inch-thick patties.
2.
Place meat patties on the unheated rack of a broiler pan. Broil 3 inches from the heat for 6 minutes. Turn and broil 6 to 8 minutes more or until an instant-read thermometer inserted in side of patty registers 160 degrees F.
3.
Top each burger with 1 slice of tomato. Sprinkle with oregano, then mozzarella cheese. Broil 1 to 2 minutes more or until cheese is melted. Makes 4 servings.
Make-Ahead Tip
Prepare burgers but do not broil. Wrap burgers individually in freezer wrap or foil; place in an airtight container or plastic freezer bag. Seal, label, and freeze up to 1 month. Thaw overnight; cook and serve as above.
