Bacon Mushroom Cheeseburger Lettuce Wraps

Bacon Mushroom Cheeseburger Lettuce Wraps

 

Lettuce wraps are a great way to take your favorite fast food items and make them far healthier. You skip can skip all the unnecessary carbs and yet still get all the great flavors. I packed these lettuce wraps with grassfed beef, uncured bacon and sautéed mushrooms and the kids thought it was the best dinner ever. Take that, McDonalds!
