Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Ground beef (80% lean)
- 4 slices Cheddar cheese, sliced
- 8 leaves Large lettuce leaves
- 1 large Tomato, sliced
- 0.5 medium Red onion, sliced
- 8 slices Pickle slices
- 4 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Mix thoroughly until well combined.
Divide the seasoned beef into four equal portions and shape each into a patty about 1/2 inch thick.
Heat a skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat and add the butter.
Once the butter has melted and is sizzling, add the beef patties. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side until the patties are browned and cooked to your desired level of doneness.
Place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty during the last minute of cooking to melt.
While the patties are cooking, prepare the burger toppings by washing and drying the lettuce leaves and slices of tomato.
Assemble the burgers by spreading 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise and 1/2 teaspoon of Dijon mustard on the inside of two lettuce leaves for each burger.
Place the cooked cheese-topped patty on one lettuce leaf, top with tomato slices, onion rings, and pickle slices.
Cover with the second lettuce leaf to encase the burger and enjoy your keto big tasty burger wrapped in lettuce instead of a bun.
