I am glad to share this recipe with all of you; this easy to assemble burger is stuffed with a patty that is made with ground beef and Moroccan seasoning. Sliced onion, tomato and beetroot with some greens are added to the burger to provide a variety of nutrients. Use whole grain burger buns as they are rich in fiber and complex carbohydrates. This awesome recipe is high in protein and takes little time to cook.
