You won't believe this but this is a Weight Watcher recipe, it's from the New Complete Cookbook!! It's very, very good--4 thumbs up (which means of course everyone in the family ate it and liked it!)-SCORE!!
Cheddar-Stuffed Buffalo Burgers
(makes 4 servings)- I double up the recipe to make more burgers
1 lb ground buffalo meat
1 small sweet onion, finely chopped (about 1/4 cup)
1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
1/2 tsp salt
1/8 tsp freshly ground pepper
1/2 cup shredded reduced-fat sharp cheddar cheese
4 English muffins, split
4 romaine lettuce leaves, trimmed
4 tomato slices
1. In a medium bowl, combine the buffalo, onion, Worcestshire sauce, salt, and pepper; mix well to combine. Divide and shape the mixture into 4 balls. With your finger make a deep indentation into each ball. Fill each hole with 2 tablespoons of the cheese. Pinch the meat closed to cover the cheese and shape each ball into a 3/4-inch-thick patty.
2. Toast the English muffins. Spray a nonstick skillet with spray and heat over medium-high heat. Cook burgers 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare.
3. Place the muffin bottoms on 4 plates. Top each with 1 lettuce leaf, 1 tomato slice, and a burger. Place the top of muffins on each burger.
Instead of skillet cooking the burgers try grilling them thats what I did and I think it gives it better flavor!!
Tip: Because ground buffalo is so lean, cook the burgers no further than medium or you will end up with a dry patty.
