Ingredients

• 500 grams Ground beef
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 4 pieces Cheddar cheese slices
• 8 pieces Large lettuce leaves
• 1 medium Tomato
• 2 pieces Dill pickles
• 4 tablespoons Mayonnaise
• 2 tablespoons Mustard
• 0.5 medium Red onion

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your grill or stovetop pan over medium-high heat.

Step 2

In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overwork the meat.

Step 3

Divide the meat mixture into four equal portions and shape them into patties, making a slight indentation in the center of each to prevent them from puffing up during cooking.

Step 4

Brush each patty with olive oil to prevent them from sticking to the grill or pan.

Step 5

Place the patties on the grill or in the pan, cooking for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until they reach your desired level of doneness. Add a slice of cheddar cheese to each patty during the last minute of cooking to allow it to melt.

Step 6

While the patties are cooking, prepare your toppings by washing and drying the lettuce leaves, slicing the tomato and pickles, and thinly slicing the red onion.

Step 7

To assemble the hamburgers, take two lettuce leaves for each burger and arrange them to form a sufficient base layer.

Step 8

Place the cooked beef patty on the lettuce leaves, and top it with a slice of tomato, a few pickle slices, and sliced red onion.

Step 9

Drizzle or spread a tablespoon of mayonnaise and half a tablespoon of mustard over each patty.

Step 10

Finish by placing another two lettuce leaves over the top, gently pressing everything together.

Step 11

Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious low-carb classic homemade hamburger!
