Keto Stuffed Burgers
INGREDIENTS
- 1 lb. ground beef
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
Stuffed Filling:
- 4 oz. cream cheese
- 2 jalapeños, diced
- 1 cup crumbled bacon
DIRECTIONS
Stuffed Filling:
First, In a little bowl, add cream cheese, jalapeño, and crumbled bacon, mixing all ingredients together. Scoop out a 2″ spoonful of cream cheese and form into a disk.
Put the disks in the refrigerator for at least 15-20 minutes. You could also freeze them for future use.
Forming Hamburger Patties:
Then, Divide hamburger meat into 6 equal portion and flatten into hamburger patties. For the base patties, you will press until you reach 1/2″ thick.
The middle portion you will want to press to reach 1/4″ thick creating a bowl effect which is where you will put a cream cheese disk. For the top hamburger patty, they should be around 1/4″ thick. Season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder on each side.
Put a cream cheese disk in the center of the bottom hamburger patty.
Add a top patty to cover the disc and press on the sides to seal the burger. This will look like a single thick burger. Continue until all burgers have been formed.
How to Grill:
Personally, I like to grill my burgers to be medium doneness, but feel free to change it up depending on your favorite. To achieve just the right amount of pink for medium, grill for about 5 minutes per side.
Put burgers on a keto bun, lettuce wrap, or just eat it bunless. These burgers will be very tasty on their own so no need for all the usual extras. Enjoy!
