Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef

- 4 slices cheddar cheese slices
- 8 large lettuce leaves
- 1 tomato
- 0.5 red onion
- 4 slices pickles
- 4 tbsp mayonnaise
- 2 tbsp ketchup

Instructions
Divide the ground beef into four equal portions and shape into patties, about 1/2 inch thick.
Season both sides of each patty with salt and black pepper.
Heat a grill or a skillet over medium-high heat.
Once hot, place the patties on the grill or skillet.
Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until desired doneness.
During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty to melt.
While the patties are cooking, prepare the toppings: slice the tomato and red onion into thin rings and keep pickles ready.
Once the patties are cooked, remove them from the heat and let them rest for a minute.
To assemble the lettuce-wrapped cheeseburger, start with a large lettuce leaf as the base.
Place the patty with melted cheese onto the lettuce leaf.
Top each patty with a slice of tomato, a ring of onion, and a pickle slice.
Drizzle a tablespoon of mayonnaise, and add a dollop of ketchup and a little mustard on top.
Cover with another lettuce leaf.
Secure the lettuce wrap with a toothpick if necessary.
Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious lettuce-wrapped cheeseburger!
