Keto Burger King

Keto Burger King-Style Burger Recipe:

Ingredients:

For the Burger Patties:

• 1 lb ground beef (80% lean for juicier patties)
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp onion powder
• 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp black pepper
• 1-2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce (optional, for flavor)

For the Burger:

• 4 large iceberg lettuce leaves (to replace the burger bun)
• 4 slices cheddar cheese (or your favorite cheese)
• 1 small red onion, sliced
• 1 large tomato, sliced
• Pickles (optional, but a great addition for that Burger King flavor)
• Sugar-free ketchup (or homemade if you prefer)
• Mustard (optional)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Burger Patties:
   • In a bowl, combine the ground beef with garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, pepper, and Worcestershire sauce (if using). Mix the ingredients well.
   • Form the mixture into 4 patties of equal size, pressing them slightly in the center to prevent them from puffing up too much while cooking.
2. Cook the Patties:
   • Heat a grill pan, regular pan, or outdoor grill over medium-high heat.
   • Cook the burger patties for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until they reach your preferred level of doneness (usually 160°F internal temperature for medium).
   • Place a slice of cheese on each patty during the last minute of cooking to melt.
3. Assemble the Burger:
   • Lay a large lettuce leaf on a plate to act as your “bun” base.
   • Place a cooked patty with melted cheese on top of the lettuce leaf.
   • Add a slice of tomato, onion, and a few pickles on top.
   • Spread a bit of sugar-free ketchup and/or mustard for that classic Burger King flavor.
4. Top and Wrap:
   • Top with another lettuce leaf, folding it over the burger to create a “wrap.”
   • For extra flavor, you can add a small amount of mayo (opt for a keto-friendly version).
5. Serve:
   • Serve your Keto Burger King-style burger immediately, and enjoy your low-carb, bun-less burger!

This recipe lets you enjoy the taste of a classic Burger King burger without the carbs, thanks to the lettuce wraps. You can customize the toppings (like bacon, avocado, or jalapeños) to make it even more decadent!
