Ingredients

2 servings 4 servings
  • 1 baby lettuce
  • 1 sliced dill pickle
  • 2 tbsp mayonnaise
  • 1 ketchup
  • 2 tsp dijon mustard
  • 1 tbsp fry seasoning
  • 10 oz ground beef
  • 1 beef stock concentrate
  • 0.5 cups cheddar cheese
  • 1 crispy fried onions
  • 1 tsp cooking oil
  • salt
  • pepper
  • 2 baby lettuces
  • 2 sliced dill pickles
  • 4 tbsp mayonnaise
  • 2 ketchups
  • 2 tsp dijon mustard
  • 2 tbsp fry seasoning
  • 20 oz ground beef
  • 2 beef stock concentrates
  • 1 cup cheddar cheese
  • 2 crispy fried onions
  • 1 tsp cooking oil
  • salt
  • pepper

Instructions

  1. • Wash and dry produce.
    • Trim and discard root end from lettuce; separate leaves.
    Thinly slice 1-2 small center leaves until you have 1⁄3 cup
    shredded lettuce (2⁄3 cup for 4 servings). Drain pickle;
    roughly chop.
  2. • In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, ketchup, half the
    mustard, and ½ tsp Fry Seasoning (you’ll use more in the
    next step). (For 4 servings, use all the mustard and 1 tsp
    Fry Seasoning.) Stir in water 1 tsp at a time until sauce
    reaches a drizzling consistency. Set aside.
  3. • Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high
    heat. Add beef*, remaining Fry Seasoning, salt, and
    pepper. Cook, breaking up meat into pieces, until
    browned and almost cooked through, 3-5 minutes.
    • Stir in stock concentrate and ¼ cup water (1⁄3 cup for
    4 servings). Cook, stirring, until liquid has absorbed and
    beef is cooked through, 2-3 minutes. TIP: If there’s excess
    grease in your pan, carefully pour it out.
    • Add half the cheese; stir until melted, 1 minute (save
    the rest for serving).
  4. • Divide lettuce leaves between plates. Fill with beef
    mixture, pickle, shredded lettuce, crispy fried onions,
    remaining cheese, and special sauce. Serve.
    Ground Beef is fully cooked when internal temperature reaches 160º.
