Blue Cheese Burger

This low-carb blue cheese burger features juicy beef patties topped with creamy blue cheese and fresh vegetables, all wrapped in crisp lettuce leaves for a deliciously satisfying meal. Perfect for those looking to indulge without the carbs, this burger is packed with flavor and protein.

Ingredients

• Ground beef - 300 grams (85% lean)
• Blue cheese - 50 grams, crumbled
• Garlic powder - 1 teaspoon
• Onion powder - 1 teaspoon
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/4 teaspoon
• Butter - 1 tablespoon
• Lettuce leaves (for wrapping) - 4 large leaves
• Tomato - 1 medium, sliced
• Red onion - 1/4 medium, sliced
• Pickles - 4 slices

Steps

1. In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overwork the meat.
2. Divide the meat mixture into two equal portions and shape them into patties, about 1.5 cm thick.
3. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and melt the butter. Once the butter is sizzling, add the patties to the skillet.
4. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on one side, then flip them and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes or until they reach your desired doneness.
5. In the last minute of cooking, sprinkle the crumbled blue cheese on top of each patty to allow it to melt slightly.
6. Remove the patties from the skillet and let them rest for a minute.
7. To assemble, place each patty on a large lettuce leaf, top with tomato slices, red onion, and pickles. Wrap the lettuce around the patty to create a burger.
