Notes
Helpful Recipe Tips
- Sweet relish or dill relish, to keep it authentic sweet relish is used in the sauce but if you're keto using regular dill relish is the best option.
- Best ground beef, use the fattiest ground beef you can find. Lean is going to be very dry but of course if you enjoy it, go for it!
- Make ahead, making the sauce and ground beef are literally the only things that you have to prepare. Make those and set them to the side. Then, when ready to eat simply pull out lettuce, diced onion, shredded cheese then top and eat.
