Lettuce Wrapped

Everybody loves a juicy burger served on a buttery bun. But we’re here to show you that this Lettuce Wrapped Mushroom and Swiss Burger can be just as delicious—maybe even better (and don’t forget healthier!).

Grab your food processor and toss in 10 ounces of baby bell mushrooms (cleaned and stemmed!). Pulse the processor until the mushrooms are coarsely chopped. Be careful not to puree the mushrooms.

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Lightly mist the pan with a nonstick cooking spray, then sauté the onion and garlic for about three minutes. As they sauté, add in mushrooms, a quarter teaspoon of sea salt, and a quarter teaspoon of black pepper. Continue to sauté the veggies for an additional seven to 10 minutes. Set the skillet aside and let cool.

Place your lean, grass-fed beef in a large bowl, then add the cooled veggies, Worcestershire sauce, and salt and pepper. Add any of your favorite seasonings for extra flavor! Mix with your hands and craft four beef patties.

Fire up your grill or heat a large skillet on medium-high heat. Cook patties for four minutes on each side for a medium-well burger—or feel free to cook patties to personal preference. Top off your juicy beef patty with slice of Swiss cheese and place the burger on a large piece of lettuce. Add a spoonful of your favorite BBQ sauce before wrapping it up to put the finishing touches on this Lettuce Wrapped Mushroom and Swiss Burger.

Falling in love at first bite, your family will definitely be giving their compliments to the chef. If you’re on a Nutrisystem plan, you can count each serving as two  PowerFuels, one Vegetable and one Extra.
