Iceburgers
Iceburg lettuce “buns." Pure genius.
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 to mato 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.
- Reheat 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 the cheese has melted, about 1 minute. Remove from heat.
- 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.
