Ingredients
| Cooking spray | ||
| 1 | lb | extra-lean ground sirloin |
| 1⁄2 | t | salt |
| 1⁄4 | t | black pepper |
| 4 | 1-inch cubes Gorgonzola or any blue cheese (about 4 ounces total) | |
| 1 | c | nonfat plain yogurt |
| 1⁄4 | c | shredded cucumber |
| 2 | t | chopped fresh dill |
| 1 | t | Dijon mustard |
| 1 | t | garlic powder |
| 4 | whole-wheat rolls |
Instructions
Spritz a large grill pan with cooking spray; set over medium heat. In a large bowl, combine sirloin, salt, and pepper. Shape mixture into 4 equal balls. Press a cube of Gorgonzola into the center of each, covering cheese completely with meat. Shape balls into patties, each about 1 inch thick. Place burgers on hot pan and cook for 5 to 6 minutes per side until cooked through (less for medium-rare meat). Meanwhile, mix next 5 ingredients in a small bowl. Place burgers on rolls and top each with 2 tablespoons yogurt sauce. Serve remaining sauce on the side.
