Now back to the burger recipe at hand! To make this cheesy Pizza Burger, get started by preparing your Nutrisystem Hamburger according to the package’s directions. While it’s cooking, place one egg white in a small bowl and two tablespoons of breadcrumbs in another bowl. Bread the hamburger patty by dipping it into the egg white and then in the breadcrumbs.

Next, heat one teaspoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Once the pan is hot, add the breaded burger and cook for two minutes on each side. When the burger becomes golden, top it with two tablespoons of low sodium marinara sauce and two tablespoons of part skim shredded mozzarella cheese. Cover the burger and continue cooking until the cheese has fully melted. Place the burger onto the bun and enjoy!

One serving of this delicious Nutrisystem Pizza Burger contains 404 calories and a whopping 21 grams of protein. Turn this Pizza Burger into a White Pizza Burger by swapping the marinara sauce with a light or reduced fat alfredo sauce.

Just like with a real pizza, you can also top your Pizza Burger with many different toppings! Non-starchy vegetables are unlimited on the Nutrisystem program and make the perfect addition to any savory supper. Make a veggie lover’s pie by piling your burger high with sliced bell peppers, onions, spinach and tomatoes.
