Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef (85% lean)
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 large egg
- 0.25 cup Whole30 compliant BBQ sauce
- 1 as needed avocado oil spray
- 4 large romaine lettuce leaves
- 1 medium tomato
- 0.5 small red onion
- 4 slices pickles (Whole30 compliant)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, onion powder, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
Add the egg to the meat mixture and mix again until well combined.
Divide the mixture into four equal parts and form burger patties about 1/2 inch thick.
Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Spray lightly with avocado oil spray to prevent sticking.
Place the patties on the preheated grill and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until they have reached your desired doneness.
About 2 minutes before the burgers are done, brush each patty with Whole30 compliant BBQ sauce.
Remove patties from the grill and let them rest for a minute.
While the patties are resting, prepare the toppings: slice the tomato and red onion.
Assemble each burger by using large romaine lettuce leaves as the bun. Start with a lettuce leaf, add the burger patty, top with a slice of tomato, onion, a pickle slice, and finally another lettuce leaf.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Whole30 Charbroiled BBQ Burgers!
