Sure, here’s a simple recipe for a low-carb bacon cheeseburger:
Ingredients:
- 1 lb ground beef (preferably lean)
- 4 slices of bacon
- 4 slices of cheese (cheddar, Swiss, or your preference)
- Lettuce leaves (for wrapping)
- Sliced tomatoes (optional)
- Sliced onions (optional)
- Pickles (optional)
- Mustard or sugar-free ketchup (optional)
Instructions:
- Cook the Bacon: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crispy. Once done, transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease.
- Form the Patties: Divide the ground beef into four equal portions and form them into burger patties. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Cook the Patties: In the same skillet you used for the bacon (or a separate one if preferred), cook the burger patties over medium-high heat. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until desired level of doneness is reached.
- Add Cheese: During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheese on each patty and allow it to melt.
- Assemble the Burger: To make it low-carb, use lettuce leaves as your bun. Place a lettuce leaf on a plate, then add a cheese-topped patty on top. Add cooked bacon slices, and any additional toppings you desire such as sliced tomatoes, onions, or pickles.
- Serve: Serve immediately while hot. You can also add a dollop of mustard or sugar-free ketchup if desired.
Enjoy your low-carb bacon cheeseburgers! They’re delicious and satisfying without the extra carbs.
