Ingredients
For the Burger Mix
- 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
For the Burger Sauce
- ½ cup mayo
- 3 tbsp sugar free ketchup
For Assembly
- 1 head romaine lettuce
Instructions
- Cook the Ground Beef: Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the ground beef. Cook, breaking it apart with a spatula, until fully browned.
- Add Flavorings and Onion: Stir in the dill relish, sugar-free ketchup, yellow mustard, salt, and black pepper. Sauté for 30 seconds to combine flavors. Add the diced yellow onion and cook for 2-3 minutes until the onion becomes translucent. Remove the skillet from heat.
- Melt the Cheese: Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the cooked beef mixture. Allow it to sit for 1-2 minutes so the cheese can melt thoroughly.
- Prepare Burger Sauce: While the cheese melts, mix together mayonnaise and sugar-free ketchup in a small bowl to create the burger sauce.
- Assemble the Lettuce Wraps: Spoon the cheesy beef mixture into clean romaine lettuce leaves. Drizzle or dollop the prepared burger sauce on top.
- Serve: Serve the lettuce wrap burgers immediately for a fresh and tasty meal.
Notes
- Use sugar-free ketchup to keep the recipe low-carb and diabetic-friendly.
- Romaine lettuce works best for wraps due to its sturdy, crisp leaves.
- You can substitute cheddar with any preferred cheese that melts well.
- For additional flavor, try adding pickles or jalapeños as toppings.
- Ensure the beef is fully cooked to an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C) for safety.
