Ingredients

• 1 lb Ground beef (80% lean)
• 1 tsp Salt
• 0.5 tsp Black pepper
• 0.5 tsp Garlic powder
• 0.5 tsp Onion powder
• 4 slices Cheddar cheese slices
• 8 leaves Romaine lettuce leaves
• 1 medium, sliced Tomato
• 1 small, sliced Red onion
• 8 slices Pickle slices
• 4 tbsp Mayonnaise
• 2 tbsp Mustard

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix until combined but do not overwork the meat.

Step 2

Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape each into a round patty about 3/4-inch thick.

Step 3

Preheat a grill or a grill pan over medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates with a paper towel dipped in oil.

Step 4

Place the burger patties onto the grill. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on the first side, until nicely browned and grill marks appear.

Step 5

Flip the patties over and cook for another 3-4 minutes, or until they reach your desired level of doneness.

Step 6

Place one slice of cheddar cheese onto each patty during the last minute of cooking, closing the grill lid to melt the cheese slightly.

Step 7

Remove the patties from the grill and let them rest for a couple of minutes.

Step 8

Assemble each burger by placing a cooked patty on a romaine lettuce leaf. Add a layer of mayonnaise and mustard, then top with tomato slices, red onion rings, and pickle slices.

Step 9

Wrap another romaine lettuce leaf around each burger to secure the fillings, creating a lettuce wrap.

Step 10

Serve immediately and enjoy your low-carb classic grilled burger.
