Ingredients

• 1 can (8oz.) pizza sauce, divided
• 1/2 cup seasoned bread crumbs
• 1/2 cup finely chopped green pepper
• 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
• 2 egg whites
• 1 garlic clove, minced
• 1 lb. lean ground beef (90% lean)
• 6 slices Italian bread (1/2 inch thick)
• 2 tsp. olive oil
• 1 1/2 tsp. Italian seasoning
• 1/2 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese

Directions

1. In a large bowl, combine 1/3 cup pizza sauce, bread crumbs, pepper, onion, egg whites and garlic. Add beef; mix lightly but thoroughly. Shape into six oval patties.
2. In a nonstick skillet, cook patties over medium heat 4-5 minutes per side or until a thermometer reads 160 degrees.
3. Meanwhile, place bread on an ungreased baking sheet. Brush tops with oil; sprinkle with Italian seasoning. Broil 3-4 inches from heat 1-2 minutes or until golden brown.
4. Place remaining pizza sauce in a microwave- safe bowl. Microwave, covered, on high for 10-20 seconds. Place patties on toast; top with sauce and cheese.
