Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground beef
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Onion powder
- 4 slices Cheddar cheese slices
- 4 large leaves Lettuce leaves
- 1 medium Tomato
- 0.25 cup Pickles
- 4 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons Mustard
Instructions
Preheat your grill or skillet to medium-high heat.
In a large bowl, combine ground beef, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix until evenly combined.
Divide the beef mixture into four equal parts and shape each portion into a patty about 3/4 inch thick.
Place the patties on the preheated grill or skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes on one side, until a good crust forms.
Flip the patties and place a slice of cheddar cheese on top of each patty, cook for another 3-4 minutes, or until the desired doneness is reached and the cheese is melted.
While the patties are cooking, wash and dry the lettuce leaves. Slice the tomato into thin slices.
Once the patties are cooked, remove them from the heat and let them rest for a couple of minutes.
Assemble the burgers by placing a cooked patty on a large lettuce leaf, followed by tomato slices, pickles, a tablespoon of mayonnaise, and a teaspoon of mustard. Top with another lettuce leaf to create a low-carb wrap.
Serve immediately and enjoy your low-carb classic American cheeseburger!
