Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef (85% lean)
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 large egg
• 0.25 cup Whole30 compliant BBQ sauce
• 1 as needed avocado oil spray
• 4 large romaine lettuce leaves
• 1 medium tomato
• 0.5 small red onion
• 4 slices pickles (Whole30 compliant)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, onion powder, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.

Step 2

Add the egg to the meat mixture and mix again until well combined.

Step 3

Divide the mixture into four equal parts and form burger patties about 1/2 inch thick.

Step 4

Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Spray lightly with avocado oil spray to prevent sticking.

Step 5

Place the patties on the preheated grill and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until they have reached your desired doneness.

Step 6

About 2 minutes before the burgers are done, brush each patty with Whole30 compliant BBQ sauce.

Step 7

Remove patties from the grill and let them rest for a minute.

Step 8

While the patties are resting, prepare the toppings: slice the tomato and red onion.

Step 9

Assemble each burger by using large romaine lettuce leaves as the bun. Start with a lettuce leaf, add the burger patty, top with a slice of tomato, onion, a pickle slice, and finally another lettuce leaf.

Step 10

Serve immediately and enjoy your Whole30 Charbroiled BBQ Burgers!
