Every day, I receive emails from keto dieters who say, “I AM SO SICK OF EATING EGGS.”
I also get emails saying, “Easy recipes, please!” As a certified Easy Recipe Creator (that’s not a real thing of course, but I am the last person on the planet capable of dreaming up a complex recipe), I am happy to deliver an easy, egg-free keto recipe with this post.
Keto Butter Burgers: The Ultimate Savory Fat Bomb
I call them Keto Butter Burgers, and with 10g fat per mini-burger, they are the ultimate savory fat bomb. Have them for breakfast, lunch, dinner, or a snack — they’re perfect any time of the day! They’re easy to transport and taste great reheated
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef (85% lean)
- 3 T butter
- 2 oz cheese (any kind; I used Colby Jack)
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
- Onion powder to taste (optional)
- Garlic powder to taste (optional)
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
-
In a medium-sized bowl, combine ground beef with your desired amount of salt and pepper. Optionally, add onion powder and/or garlic powder.
-
Press a small amount of beef (about 1 tbsp) into the bottom of a non-stick, 12-slot muffin pan so the bottom is fully covered.
-
Add a pat of butter to the top of each piece of beef.
-
Again add beef to the top. Press to flatten.
-
Add a small piece of cheese to the beef.
-
Add a final layer of beef. (It’s okay if you don’t have quite enough beef left to fully cover the top of the cheese.) Press to flatten.
-
Place the muffin pan in the oven and bake for 10 minutes. **If using a silicone muffin pan, place it on top of a cookie sheet before adding it to the oven!**
-
When the baking is complete, turn OFF the oven and crack the oven door for a few minutes to release the heat. This is to allow the excess oil to cool down.
-
Please be VERY CAREFUL before removing your muffin pan from the oven because the fat from the beef and butter will be very hot.
-
Using a fork, remove each Butter Burger from the pan and place on a plate. (Note: Your burgers should be cooked through; if they’re not, return them to the oven for a few minutes.)
-
There will be a delicious beef fat/butter combo remaining in the muffin pan. Save this and use it to drizzle on your Butter Burgers, cook veggies, etc.
