# What You Need:
→ For the Cheeseburgers
01 - 1 pound ground beef (80/20 blend)
02 - 1 teaspoon kosher salt
03 - 0.5 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
04 - 1 teaspoon garlic powder
05 - 1 teaspoon onion powder
06 - 4 slices cheddar cheese
→ For the Lettuce Wraps
07 - 1 large head iceberg or romaine lettuce, leaves separated and dried
→ For the Toppings
08 - 8 dill pickle slices
09 - 1 small red onion, thinly sliced
10 - 1 medium tomato, sliced (optional)
→ For the Secret Sauce
11 - 0.25 cup mayonnaise
12 - 1 tablespoon sugar-free ketchup
13 - 1 tablespoon dill pickle relish (no sugar added)
14 - 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
15 - 0.5 teaspoon smoked paprika
16 - 0.25 teaspoon garlic powder
17 - 0.25 teaspoon onion powder
18 - Salt and pepper to taste
# Steps:
01 - Combine mayonnaise, sugar-free ketchup, dill pickle relish, Dijon mustard, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder in a small bowl. Mix until fully incorporated. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste. Refrigerate until assembly.
02 - In a large bowl, combine ground beef, kosher salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix gently with your hands until just combined, avoiding overmixing which can result in tough patties.
03 - Divide the seasoned beef into 4 equal portions. Shape each portion into a patty slightly larger than your lettuce leaves, creating an even thickness for uniform cooking.
04 - Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Place patties in the pan and cook for 3 to 4 minutes per side until reaching desired doneness. During the final minute of cooking, top each patty with a slice of cheddar cheese and cover the pan to facilitate melting.
05 - Arrange two large lettuce leaves per wrap on individual plates, overlapping them slightly to provide structural support for the burger filling.
06 - Place a cooked cheeseburger patty onto each lettuce base. Top with secret sauce, dill pickle slices, sliced red onion, and tomato if desired. Fold the lettuce leaves around the burger to enclose the filling.
07 - Transfer assembled wraps to serving plates and eat promptly to maintain optimal lettuce crispness and structural integrity.
