Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
- 8 leaves lettuce leaves
- 1 large tomato
- 0.5 medium red onion
- 4 slices cheese slices
- 0.25 cup gluten-free ketchup
- 0.25 cup mustard
- 4 slices pickles
Instructions
Preheat your grill or a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.
In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix until just combined.
Divide the beef mixture into four equal portions and shape each into a patty about 1/2-inch thick.
Grill or cook the patties for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until they reach your desired doneness. If using a skillet, turn the heat down slightly to prevent burning.
During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheese on each patty and allow it to melt.
While the patties are cooking, wash and dry the lettuce leaves. Use two leaves per burger for stability.
Slice the tomato and red onion into thin slices.
To assemble, place a cooked patty on two stacked lettuce leaves. Top with tomato slices, onion, pickles, and your choice of gluten-free ketchup and mustard.
Wrap the lettuce leaves around the fillings and secure with a toothpick if necessary.
Serve immediately and enjoy your gluten-free lettuce-wrapped burger.
