Ingredients

• 1 pound Ground beef (80/20 blend)
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
• 8 large leaves Iceberg lettuce leaves
• 4 slices Cheddar cheese slices
• 1 large, sliced Tomato
• 0.5 small, sliced into rings Red onion
• 4 slices Pickles
• 0.25 cup Ketchup
• 0.25 cup Mustard

Directions

Step 1

Start by preheating your grill or a skillet over medium-high heat.

Step 2

In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix gently until the spices are evenly distributed.

Step 3

Divide the ground beef mixture into four equal parts and shape them into patties about 1/2 inch thick.

Step 4

Place the patties on the preheated grill or skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness.

Step 5

During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty and let it melt.

Step 6

While the patties are cooking, prepare the lettuce wraps by separating the iceberg lettuce leaves. Rinse and pat them dry.

Step 7

Once the patties are cooked and the cheese has melted, remove them from the grill or skillet and let them rest for a minute.

Step 8

To assemble the burgers, place two large lettuce leaves on a clean surface, slightly overlapping.

Step 9

Place a cheeseburger patty in the center of the leaves, then add a slice of tomato, a few rings of red onion, and a pickle slice.

Step 10

Drizzle with a small amount of ketchup and mustard to your liking.

Step 11

Wrap the lettuce around the filling, folding it over tightly to enclose the contents and form a neat package.

Step 12

Repeat the assembly process with the remaining patties and ingredients.

Step 13

Serve immediately and enjoy your fresh, lettuce-wrapped burger.
