Equipment

  • 1 large skillet or griddle
  • 1 spatula
  • 1 mixing bowl
  • 1 measuring cups and spoons
  • 1 knife and cutting board

Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound ground beef (80/20 blend)
  • 4 slices cheddar cheese
  • ¼ cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons sugar-free ketchup
  • 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
  • 1 tablespoon dill pickle relish
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 8 large lettuce leaves (for bun replacement)
  • to taste sliced pickles (for topping)
  • to taste sliced onions (for topping)

Instructions
 

  • In a mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, sugar-free ketchup, yellow mustard, dill pickle relish, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create the Big Mac sauce. Set aside.
  • Preheat a large skillet or griddle over medium-high heat.
  • Divide the ground beef into four equal portions (about 4 ounces each). Roll each portion into a ball and place them on the hot skillet.
  • Using a spatula, smash each beef ball down to form a thin patty. Cook for about 3 to 4 minutes on one side until a nice crust forms.
  • Flip the patties and immediately place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty. Cook for an additional 2 to 3 minutes until the cheese is melted and the burgers are cooked to your desired doneness.
  • While the burgers are cooking, prepare the lettuce leaves by rinsing and drying them. These will act as your 'buns'.
  • Once the burgers are cooked, assemble each burger by placing a lettuce leaf down as the bottom bun. Add a patty with melted cheese on top, followed by a spoonful of Big Mac sauce, sliced pickles, and sliced onions. Top with another lettuce leaf as the 'top bun'.
  • Repeat the assembly for each burger and serve immediately.
