Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef (80/20 blend)
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 4 pieces cheddar cheese slices
- 8 pieces large Romaine lettuce leaves
- 1 medium tomato, sliced
- 0.5 medium red onion, sliced
- 0.25 cup pickles, sliced
- 2 tablespoons mustard
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine the ground beef with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Mix gently to combine without overworking the meat.
Divide the beef mixture into 4 equal portions and shape them into patties, about 3/4 inch thick.
Preheat a grill or stovetop grill pan over medium-high heat.
Cook the burger patties for about 3-4 minutes on one side, then flip and top each with a slice of cheddar cheese. Cook for another 3-4 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the burgers reach your desired level of doneness.
Remove the burgers from heat and let them rest for a few minutes.
To assemble each burger, lay two Romaine lettuce leaves slightly overlapping on a plate.
Place the cooked burger patty on top of the lettuce leaves.
Add a slice of tomato, a few rings of red onion, and a few pickle slices on top of the burger.
Drizzle with mustard and mayonnaise, then top with another two lettuce leaves to wrap.
Serve immediately and enjoy your low-carb classic burger!
