Lettuce Wrapped Cheeseburgers
To cut carbs, I started eating burgers wrapped in lettuce. Now, years later, that is my preferred way to eat them. Give it a try!

Total Time:
Ingredients:
| 2 pounds | ground beef |
| 1/4 teaspoon | salt |
| 1 teaspoon | pepper |
| 1/2 tablespoon | oregano |
| 2 tablespoons | reduced sugar ketchup |
| 2 | tomatoes, sliced thin |
| 1 head | of iceberg lettuce, leaves removed |
| 6 slices | American cheese |
| SPREAD: | |
| 1/4 cup | mayo |
| 3 tablespoons | reduced sugar ketchup |
| 1 tablespoon | dill pickle relish |
| dash of salt and pepper | |
Directions:
Heat your grill or skillet on medium heat and add a little butter.
In a large bowl, mix together the beef, salt, pepper, oregano and ketchup.
Divide the mixture into 6 sections, and roll each piece into a ball then press down flat for 6 burgers. You can also use a burger press if you have one.
Place each burger on your grill/pan and cook for approximately 3-4 minutes on each side. Try not to press down on the burgers…they end up a little dry that way.
Once you flip the burger, add your cheese to the top cooked side.
In a small bowl mix together the spread ingredients and refrigerate.
Once you have cooked all your burgers and removed them from the pan, assemble them.
Place 1 cheeseburger on the lettuce leaf, top with 2 slices of tomato, a spoonful of spread, then wrap top to bottom with another lettuce leaf.
