# Instructions:

In a large skillet, brown 1 lb lean ground beef over medium-high heat. Drain excess fat.

While the beef cooks, melt 2 tbsp unsalted butter in a small saucepan or microwave-safe bowl. Add 3 cloves garlic, minced, and cook gently for 1 minute until fragrant. Do not brown the garlic. This aromatic butter will infuse your Easy Garlic Butter Beef Cheeseburger Rollups.

Once the beef is fully cooked and drained, pour the prepared garlic butter over the ground beef in the skillet. Stir well to ensure the beef is evenly coated. This step adds a rich, buttery flavor to the beef filling, essential for the best Easy Garlic Butter Beef Cheeseburger Rollups.

Lay out 8 large butter lettuce leaves on a clean surface. Chop 1/4 cup dill pickle chips and finely dice 1/4 cup red onion. Have 4 slices sharp cheddar cheese, 2 tbsp ketchup, and 2 tbsp yellow mustard ready for assembly.

Place a slice of sharp cheddar cheese on each of 4 butter lettuce leaves. Spoon an equal portion of the garlic butter beef mixture onto the center of each cheese-topped lettuce leaf. Top with chopped dill pickle chips and diced red onion.

Carefully roll or fold each lettuce leaf around the filling to create your Easy Garlic Butter Beef Cheeseburger Rollups. Serve immediately with a drizzle of 2 tbsp ketchup and 2 tbsp yellow mustard. Enjoy this delicious low-carb burger alternative!
# Notes:
01 -
Feel free to substitute sharp cheddar with your favorite cheese like provolone, American, or Monterey Jack for a different flavor profile.
02 -
For an extra kick, add a dash of hot sauce or a sprinkle of red pepper flakes to the beef mixture.
03 -
Leftover beef mixture can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently before assembling fresh rollups.

Ensure your butter lettuce leaves are well-chilled and crisp for the best rollup experience. A quick rinse and pat dry helps.
