Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground beef (80/20 blend)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
- 8 large leaves Iceberg lettuce leaves
- 4 slices Cheddar cheese slices
- 1 large, sliced Tomato
- 0.5 small, sliced into rings Red onion
- 4 slices Pickles
- 0.25 cup Ketchup
- 0.25 cup Mustard
Instructions
Start by preheating your grill or a skillet over medium-high heat.
In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix gently until the spices are evenly distributed.
Divide the ground beef mixture into four equal parts and shape them into patties about 1/2 inch thick.
Place the patties on the preheated grill or skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness.
During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty and let it melt.
While the patties are cooking, prepare the lettuce wraps by separating the iceberg lettuce leaves. Rinse and pat them dry.
Once the patties are cooked and the cheese has melted, remove them from the grill or skillet and let them rest for a minute.
To assemble the burgers, place two large lettuce leaves on a clean surface, slightly overlapping.
Place a cheeseburger patty in the center of the leaves, then add a slice of tomato, a few rings of red onion, and a pickle slice.
Drizzle with a small amount of ketchup and mustard to your liking.
Wrap the lettuce around the filling, folding it over tightly to enclose the contents and form a neat package.
Repeat the assembly process with the remaining patties and ingredients.
Serve immediately and enjoy your fresh, lettuce-wrapped burger.
