A Low Carb Dinner Recipe For The Whole Family!
Just because we might want to skip the bun doesn’t mean the whole family has to! Our kids certainly don’t need to follow any type of low carb diet, or really any diet as long as we try and keep it fairly healthy.
Low carb recipes like the Hamburger Lettuce Wraps (really a zero carb recipe) are versatile enough, and delicious enough that everyone likes them. Our kids actually love eating these hamburgers wrapped in lettuce, but they can also grab a slider bun and make their own burgers if they wanted to.
Start out by adding a few seasonings to lean ground beef and forming these mini hamburgers that are about 3-4 ounces each.
This dill mayonnaise really adds that special flavor to a recipe like these burgers. We use it for topping burgers like in this recipe or on sandwiches. Check out our GARLIC BASIL MAYONNAISE too, it’s another one of our favorites! Another sauce idea for these hamburgers is our popular Awesome Sauce, we literally put that stuff on everything.
All you need is some fresh dill and lemon juice, salt and pepper. Mix together and chill for a few minutes to let the flavors to blend and you’re good to go. This flavored mayonnaise can be kept in your refrigerator for up to a week.
What Kind Of Lettuce Should I Use For This Recipe?
Bibb lettuce was our choice for these hamburger wraps because it’s soft and flexible. There’s also plenty of recipes that use romaine or iceberg lettuce, which add a delicious crunch that I love, but sometimes can break apart when you try and wrap up your food.
So really, it’s up to you what type of lettuce you choose, find whatever looks good to you that day at the store or your local farm stand.
What Are Some Other Hamburger Toppings?
Onions, tomatoes and the dill mayonnaise were our choices for these low carb hamburgers, but there are SO many hamburger toppings you can add!
