Keto Burger Recipe

Prepare the burger seasoning. In a small bowl or ramekin combine the salt, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika and ground pepper. 

Combine the burger seasoning and the beef. 

On a cutting board, divide the ground beef into four equal portions and shape into a ball. Push down each ball into a flat disk. 

Place ¼ cup of shredded cheese on top of each disk. Make sure the cheese is directly in the center and there is a border of beef.

Use your hands to gently form the patty back into a ball encasing the cheese.  Push down the ball into a ½-inch thick disk. Wrap three pieces of bacon around each patty, covering each side.

In a large cast iron skillet over high heat, cook the bacon-wrapped patties for 7 minutes on each side. (See notes 2-3.)

In a small bowl, mix together avocados and lemon.

To serve, place three pieces of bibb lettuce on a plate. Place one cooked bacon-wrapped patty on top. Add a heaping spoonful of smashed avocado.

Cover with three pieces of bibb lettuce on top. Serve and enjoy!
