Iceburgers
Our love for hamburgers knows no bounds. You can see it in our relentless pursuit of the ultimate burger. However, there are times when we need to reduce our carb intake or simply desire the refreshing crunch of iceberg lettuce. By substituting traditional buns with lettuce, we can indulge in our burger cravings with a bit more flexibility. It's a win-win situation for us.
Ingredients
- 1 large head iceberg lettuce
- 4 slices bacon
- 1 red onion, sliced
- 1 lb. ground beef
- Kosher salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 4 slices cheddar
- 1 tomato, sliced
- Ranch dressing, for serving
Instructions
- Slice 8 large rounds from the edges of the head of iceberg to create buns.
- In a large skillet over medium heat, cook bacon until crispy. Transfer bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to drain, reserving bacon fat in pan.
- Add onion slices and cook until tender, about 3 minutes per side. Set aside red onions and wipe skillet clean.
- Return skillet over medium-high heat. Shape ground beef into 4 large burger patties. Season both sides of patties with salt and pepper and add to skillet. Cook until seared on both sides and cooked to your liking, about 4 minutes per side for medium. Top each burger with a slice of cheese, then cover skillet with a lid and cook until cheese has melted, about 1 minute more.
- To build each burger, top one iceberg round with the cooked cheeseburger, a slice of bacon, and a tomato slice, then drizzle with ranch. Top with second iceberg round. Repeat with remaining ingredients and serve.
