Ingredients:
For the burgers:
500 grams of ground beef (preferably 80/20 blend)
Salt and pepper to taste
1 Tablespoon of garlic
1/2 tablespoon of paprika
Chilli powder to taste
4 slices of cheese (cheddar, pepper jack, or your choice)
1 tablespoon olive oil (for cooking)
For serving:
Lettuce leaves or low-carb burger buns (optional)
Sliced tomato, onion, pickles (optional)
Keto-friendly condiments like mustard, sugar-free ketchup (optional)
I served with bacon and avocado for the crispy and creaminess
Instructions:
Prepare the Cheese Filling: Cut the cheese slices into small squares or cubes. Make sure they are small enough to fit inside the burgers without overflowing.
Season the Ground Beef: In a mixing bowl, season the ground beef with salt and pepper. Divide the seasoned beef into four equal portions.
Form Burger Patties: Take one portion of the seasoned ground beef and flatten it into a thin patty with your hands. Place a few pieces of cheese in the center of the patty. Take another portion of ground beef and flatten it into a similar-sized patty. Place it on top of the cheese-covered patty and press the edges firmly to seal. Repeat with the remaining portions of beef and cheese to make four stuffed patties.
Cook the Stuffed Patties: Heat olive oil in a skillet or grill pan over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the stuffed burger patties to the pan. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the burgers are cooked to your desired level of doneness and the cheese is melted inside.
Serve: Once cooked, you can serve the cheese-stuffed burgers immediately. You can wrap them in lettuce leaves for a low-carb option or serve them with keto-friendly burger buns if desired. Add your favorite burger toppings such as sliced tomato, onion, pickles, and condiments like mustard or sugar-free ketchup.
Enjoy your delicious keto cheese-stuffed hamburgers!
