Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef (90% lean)
- 1 tablespoon low sodium Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 leaves large iceberg lettuce leaves
- 4 slices reduced-fat cheddar cheese slices
- 1 tomato, sliced
- 1 red onion, thinly sliced
- 1 avocado, sliced
- 2 tablespoons mustard (optional)
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, low sodium Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are incorporated.
Divide the meat mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each portion into a patty, about 1/2 inch thick.
Preheat a non-stick skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat.
Place the patties in the skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).
During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of reduced-fat cheddar cheese on each patty. Cover the skillet with a lid or tent with aluminum foil to melt the cheese.
Prepare the lettuce wraps by laying down the iceberg lettuce leaves on a plate.
Place each cooked patty onto a lettuce leaf.
Top each burger with sliced tomato, red onion, and avocado.
Add mustard on top of the burgers, if desired.
Fold or wrap the lettuce leaves around the burgers. Serve immediately and enjoy your low sodium lettuce-wrapped cheeseburgers.
