Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- Ground Beef: 1 lb (choose high-fat content)
- Cheese: 4 slices (cheddar or Swiss)
- Lettuce Leaves: 8 large leaves (iceberg or romaine)
- Salt: 1 tsp
- Pepper: 1/2 tsp
Optional Toppings
- Avocado: 1 (sliced)
- Bacon: 4 slices (cooked and crumbled)
- Pickles: 1/2 cup (sliced)
Instructions
- Prepare the Beef: In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef with salt and pepper. Ensure it’s evenly seasoned for maximum flavor.
- Form the Patties: Divide the seasoned beef into equal portions and shape them into patties, making a small indentation in the center to prevent puffing during cooking.
- Cook the Patties: Heat a skillet or grill over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until they reach your desired doneness.
- Add Cheese: In the last minute of cooking, add cheese slices on top of the patties and cover the skillet to allow the cheese to melt.
- Assemble the Burgers: Once the patties are cooked, place them on large lettuce leaves, add your favorite toppings, and fold the leaves around the filling to create your lettuce wrap.
Notes
- Rest the Patties: Letting the patties rest for a few minutes after cooking can help retain their juices.
- Use Fresh Lettuce: Fresh, crisp lettuce ensures your wraps hold together well and adds a nice crunch.
- Don’t Overcook: Be mindful of cooking time to keep your burgers juicy and flavorful.
- Make Uniform Patties: Using a kitchen scale can help ensure each patty is the same size for even cooking.
- Experiment with Toppings: Get creative with toppings to suit your taste and mood.
