Festive Red, White and Blue “Stuffed” Burgers Recipe

Fire Up the Grill With the Fourth of July right around the corner you can show your patriotic pride with a full flavored burger dressed in red, white and blue! These burgers actually have a healthy twist with marinated grilled vegetables incorporated right in.  I partnered up with Mazola Corn Oil to develop this festive recipe that uses Red pepper, White mushrooms and Blue cheese along with fresh parsley, balsamic vinegar and a heart-healthy marinade with Mazola. You might not think of corn oil first when you think of heart-healthy oils. Mazola Corn Oil is the healthiest cooking oil for your heart, with more cholesterol-blocking plant sterols than other cooking oils, and it can play an important role in lowering your cholesterol. In fact, Mazola corn oil has 4 times more plant sterols than olive oil and 40 percent more than canola oil. A new study even found corn oil was better at reducing LDL or “bad” cholesterol than extra virgin olive oil! Corn oil is a versatile all-purpose oil that is great for grilling due to its high smoke point, which is why I love using it with my grilled vegetables and my delicious, festive and fun Red White and Blue Stuffed Burger recipe below!
