Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 0.5 tsp garlic powder
- 0.5 tsp onion powder
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 4 slices dairy-free cheese slices
- 8 leaves large lettuce leaves
- 1 sliced tomato
- 0.5 sliced red onion
- 0.5 cup pickles
- 4 tbsp dairy-free mayonnaise
- 2 tbsp dijon mustard
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix gently until well combined without overworking the meat.
Divide the seasoned beef mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each portion into a patty about 3/4 inch thick.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the patties to the skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness.
About a minute before the burgers are finished cooking, top each patty with a dairy-free cheese slice. Cover the skillet with a lid to help the cheese melt.
Remove the patties from the skillet and let them rest for a few minutes.
Prepare the lettuce wraps by arranging two large lettuce leaves for each cheeseburger on a plate. These will act as the burger bun.
Place a cheeseburger patty on each set of lettuce leaves.
Top each patty with sliced tomatoes, red onion, pickles, a dollop of dairy-free mayonnaise, and a drizzle of dijon mustard.
Fold the sides of the lettuce up and around the burger with toppings to secure everything in place.
Serve immediately and enjoy your dairy-free lettuce-wrapped cheeseburger!
