Ingredients
- 500 grams Ground beef (80% lean)
- 4 slices Cheddar cheese, sliced
- 8 leaves Large lettuce leaves
- 1 large Tomato, sliced
- 0.5 medium Red onion, sliced
- 8 slices Pickle slices
- 4 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Mix thoroughly until well combined.
Step 2
Divide the seasoned beef into four equal portions and shape each into a patty about 1/2 inch thick.
Step 3
Heat a skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat and add the butter.
Step 4
Once the butter has melted and is sizzling, add the beef patties. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side until the patties are browned and cooked to your desired level of doneness.
Step 5
Place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty during the last minute of cooking to melt.
Step 6
While the patties are cooking, prepare the burger toppings by washing and drying the lettuce leaves and slices of tomato.
Step 7
Assemble the burgers by spreading 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise and 1/2 teaspoon of Dijon mustard on the inside of two lettuce leaves for each burger.
Step 8
Place the cooked cheese-topped patty on one lettuce leaf, top with tomato slices, onion rings, and pickle slices.
Step 9
Cover with the second lettuce leaf to encase the burger and enjoy your keto big tasty burger wrapped in lettuce instead of a bun.
