Bacon Wrapped And Cheese Stuffed Burgers – Keto Recipe

This keto burger is based on the popular Beer Can Burger which is ground beef wrapped in bacon and filled with roasted vegetables and cheese. I used roasted onions, bell peppers and mushrooms and topped each burger with homemade mustard, Sriracha and grated cheddar cheese.

Ingredients

Filling:

• 2 tbsp ghee or lard (30 g/ 1.1 oz)
• 1 medium white onion, sliced (110 g/ 4 oz)
• 2 ½ cups sliced bell peppers (225 g/ 8 oz)
• 2 cups sliced white mushrooms (140 g/ 5 oz)

Burgers:

• 1 kg ground beef (2.2 lb)
• salt & pepper to taste
• 10 thin-cut slices bacon (150 g/ 5.3 oz)
• 1 ¼ cups shredded cheddar cheese (140 g/ 5 oz)
• 5 tsp Sriracha – (you can even use homemade ketchup or BBQ sauce)
• 5 tsp Dijon mustard

Instructions

1. Grease a large pan with ghee. Once hot, add sliced onion and cook over a medium-high heat for 5 minutes or until lightly browned.
2. Add sliced bell peppers and cook for another 5 minutes.
3. Add sliced mushrooms and cook for 3-5 minutes. Take off the heat.
4. Use your hands to divide the ground beef into 5 parts (200 grams or 7.1 ounces each). Flatten each part using your hands. Then take a glass and place in the middle of the burger to create a well. Fold the meat up round the glass to create a bowl shape.
5. Wrap 2 slices of bacon round the “meat bowl”. Then, remove the glass carefully by gently twisting and pulling it up.
6. Fill each “meat bowl” with the onion-pepper-mushroom mixture and a teaspoon of Sriracha and Dijon mustard.
7. Finally, top with ¼ cup of grated cheese. Repeat for the remaining burgers.
8. Place in the oven and bake at 300 F/ 150 C for 45-60 minutes (until the meat thermometer registers 165 F/ 75 C). When done, remove from the oven and let the burgers rest for 5 minutes.
9. Serve with crispy greens or other low-carb veggies.
