Stacey Hawkins, the Queen of Lean and Green Recipes makes Cheesy Burger Bombs. This low-carb recipe is an Optavia Recipe, Optavia 5 and 1 recipe and complies with most low carb diets. Eat great and lose the weight!
Every now and then a recipe comes along that blows my mind. These Cheesy Burger Bombs are not only Low Carb, Lean and Green Recipes, they're so delicious that everyone who eats them wants more and more!
What I also love about them is that they use up the zucchini that seems to be everywhere right now and help get more flavorful veggies in as well. Mixing together the beef and the cheese with the robust flavor of Flavor Quake Steak Seasoning is the key to success.
The result is a ooey, gooey, cheesy burger wrapped in a flavorful and delicious veggie cup that is as beautiful as it is tasty. Cooking them in the air fryer makes it super fast and cleanup a breeze.
Give this one a try, I PROMISE you won't be disappointed!
1/2 C shredded cheese of your choice, divided (use low-fat if on Optavia)
4 zucchini "cups" made from round zucchinis cut in half, or a large zucchini chunk (3" by 4" thick) and hollowed out, leaving 1/2" of flesh in the bottom of the cup.
Combine the beef, Flavor Quake Steak Seasoning and 1/2 of the cheese in a bowl using your hands.
Divide into 4 equal portions and form into loose balls.*
Place one ball of meat mixture into each zucchini cup.
Place in the air fryer** and cook for 15 minutes at 350° F.
Open the air fryer and sprinkle burger bombs with remaining cheese. Cook for 1 additional minute until cheese is melted.
Remove from the air fryer, and plate with your favorite additional greens and burger condiments if desired. (Be sure to count them correctly if on Optavia!).

STACEY SAYS
* Don't pack the meat too tightly as it will take longer to cook. Plus, you get a more crisp outer texture from the burger this way.
** If you don't have an air fryer, you can cook these in a casserole dish in a 350° F oven for 20-25 minutes.
There are so many fun recipes to try. I love eating healthy and trying new recipes. And the spices are the best I've ever tasted. Love all of them that I have tried. I will be reordering.
