Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground beef
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Onion powder
- 4 slices Cheddar cheese slices
- 4 large leaves Lettuce leaves
- 1 medium Tomato
- 0.25 cup Pickles
- 4 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons Mustard
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your grill or skillet to medium-high heat.
Step 2
In a large bowl, combine ground beef, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix until evenly combined.
Step 3
Divide the beef mixture into four equal parts and shape each portion into a patty about 3/4 inch thick.
Step 4
Place the patties on the preheated grill or skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes on one side, until a good crust forms.
Step 5
Flip the patties and place a slice of cheddar cheese on top of each patty, cook for another 3-4 minutes, or until the desired doneness is reached and the cheese is melted.
Step 6
While the patties are cooking, wash and dry the lettuce leaves. Slice the tomato into thin slices.
Step 7
Once the patties are cooked, remove them from the heat and let them rest for a couple of minutes.
Step 8
Assemble the burgers by placing a cooked patty on a large lettuce leaf, followed by tomato slices, pickles, a tablespoon of mayonnaise, and a teaspoon of mustard. Top with another lettuce leaf to create a low-carb wrap.
Step 9
Serve immediately and enjoy your low-carb classic American cheeseburger!
