How to Make Low Calorie Lettuce Wrap Burgers:

  • In a large glass bowl combine the ground beef, burger seasoning and steak sauce. Mix together until just combined.
  • Use your hands to divide the ground meat into 4 portions, then form each portion into discs.
  • Press unto the center of each patty with your thumb to imprint a deep dimple (this will help keep your burgers flat when you cook them.)
  • Cook according to the directions below (BBQ, Oven, Stovetop, and Air Fryer directions below).
  • To assemble stack the lettuce leaves two per stack. Place 1/2 of the lettuce leave stacks onto plates. Top with a burger patty, desired toppings, and then top each lettuce wrap with the remaining lettuce stacks.
  • Serve hot.

  • Move to a plate to rest for 5 minutes, they will continue cooking while they rest.

Stove Top Directions:
