Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground beef (80/20 blend)
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 4 slices Cheddar cheese slices
- 1 head Butter lettuce
- 1 large Tomato
- 8 slices Dill pickles
- 0.25 cup Mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons Sugar-free ketchup
- 1 tablespoon Yellow mustard
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
Instructions
1. In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, sugar-free ketchup, yellow mustard, garlic powder, and onion powder. Stir the ingredients together until well blended to create the burger sauce. Set aside.
2. Slice the tomato into four equally thick slices and set aside.
3. Separate and wash the butter lettuce leaves, patting them dry with paper towels.
4. In a mixing bowl, gently mix the ground beef with salt and black pepper, being careful not to overwork the meat.
5. Divide the seasoned beef into four equal portions and shape each portion into a ball, then flatten lightly to form a patty, ensuring they remain slightly thicker in the center.
6. Preheat a skillet or a griddle on medium-high heat. Once hot, place the beef patties onto the skillet and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until a lovely crust has developed.
7. During the last minute of cooking, add a cheese slice on top of each patty and cover the skillet with a lid to allow the cheese to melt.
8. To assemble, lay out two butter lettuce leaves for each burger on a plate. Place a slice of tomato, a beef patty with melted cheese, two pickle slices, and a generous drizzle of sauce on top.
9. Wrap the assembled components securely with the lettuce leaves, creating a 'bun.'
10. Serve the low carb burgers immediately while the cheese is still melty and delicious.
