Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Ground beef (80% lean)
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 0.5 tsp Garlic powder
- 0.5 tsp Onion powder
- 4 slices Cheddar cheese slices
- 8 leaves Romaine lettuce leaves
- 1 medium, sliced Tomato
- 1 small, sliced Red onion
- 8 slices Pickle slices
- 4 tbsp Mayonnaise
- 2 tbsp Mustard
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix until combined but do not overwork the meat.
Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape each into a round patty about 3/4-inch thick.
Preheat a grill or a grill pan over medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates with a paper towel dipped in oil.
Place the burger patties onto the grill. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on the first side, until nicely browned and grill marks appear.
Flip the patties over and cook for another 3-4 minutes, or until they reach your desired level of doneness.
Place one slice of cheddar cheese onto each patty during the last minute of cooking, closing the grill lid to melt the cheese slightly.
Remove the patties from the grill and let them rest for a couple of minutes.
Assemble each burger by placing a cooked patty on a romaine lettuce leaf. Add a layer of mayonnaise and mustard, then top with tomato slices, red onion rings, and pickle slices.
Wrap another romaine lettuce leaf around each burger to secure the fillings, creating a lettuce wrap.
Serve immediately and enjoy your low-carb classic grilled burger.
