Lean beef burgers can cook up a bit dry and tough because they have so little fat. To keep the meant nice and tender, I toss in some leftover cooked brown rice before grilling. The grains absorb the meat's juices before they can burn off. Slide this burger into a toasted whole-wheat bun and you've got a perfect meal.
All you need to do is to heat grill. In large bowl, combine 1 1b. lean ground beef and 1 cup cooked brown rice. Form into 5 patties, Grill 3 to 5 minutes on each side, or until thermometer inserted in center of burgers read 140 degrees Fahrenheit for medium-rare. Divide patties among 5 whole-wheat hamburger buns. Top with lettuce, sliced tomatoes and sliced red onions, if desired.
The trace mineral selenium in brown rice helps the body convert the thyroid hormone thyroxine into triiodothyronine, a form that is four times more effective at regulating metabolisn and energy. German scientists found that this can speed fat burn by up to 60 percent.
