Lettuce Wrap Burger
This healthy Lettuce Wrap Burger recipe has all the flavor of a classic cheeseburger with fewer carbs and calories. Made with tender ground beef, crisp lettuce, and a creamy mayo sauce, each bite is loaded with a tasty texture!
Ingredients
Filling:
- 1 lb ground beef
- ¼ cup dill relish
- 3 tbsp sugar free ketchup
- 2 tbsp yellow mustard
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- 1 yellow onion diced
- ¼ cup shredded cheddar cheese
Sauce:
- ½ cup mayo
- 3 tbsp sugar free ketchup
For Serving:
- 1 head romaine lettuce
Instructions
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the beef. Cook until browned, crumbling the meat as it cooks.
- Add the relish, ketchup, mustard, salt, and pepper to the skillet. Stir and continue to saute for 30 seconds. Add the chopped onion and continue to cook for 2-3 minutes, until the onion is translucent. Remove from heat.
- Sprinkle on the cheese and allow to sit for 1-2 minutes to melt. Meanwhile, stir together the mayo and ketchup to make the burger sauce.
- Spoon the cheesy filling into the lettuce leaves, then top with the burger sauce. Serve!
Notes
- The sauce keeps in the fridge for up to 3 days. It’s best to assemble with the lettuce only when you’re ready to serve so the lettuce doesn’t wilt.
- Use your choice of type of lettuce. As long as it has nice broad, strong leaves. Butter lettuce, green leaf, and romaine work the best. We don't recommend iceberg lettuce.
- This recipe basically tastes like a deconstructed cheeseburger!
- Regular ketchup can be substituted in for the sugar-free ketchup if desired.
