Low Carb Keto Burger

Cultural Context

The Low Carb Keto Burger is a modern take on the classic American burger, designed for those following a ketogenic diet. This diet emphasizes low carbohydrate intake while promoting healthy fats and proteins. The burger substitutes traditional buns with lettuce leaves, making it a popular choice for health-conscious individuals. With the rise of low-carb diets, variations of this burger can now be found in many restaurants and home kitchens, catering to the growing demand for healthier meal options.

1

Gather all of your ingredients for your keto burger.

2

Thinly slice your onions and separate your lettuce leaves into individual leaves.

3

Slice your tomatoes, and gather any other toppings you are using.

4

If you are using freshly ground meat, form your burger patties if needed, or remove the pre-made patties from your package and season them with salt and pepper.

5

To bake the bacon, preheat the oven to 400F and line a sheet pan with foil.

6

Set however many bacon strips you'd like on the sheet pan and bake for 7-10 minutes as your onions are cooking.

7

For the caramelized onions, preheat your saute pan over medium-high heat and add 1/2 teaspoon of avocado oil along with your sliced onions.

8

Saute your onions over medium-high heat for 5-8 minutes until they begin to brown.

9

When you start to see small brown bits start to build upon the bottom of the pan and your onions begin to brown, add 1-2 tablespoons of liquid (we used stock in this recipe but you could always use water or vinegar) and stir vigorously.

10

While your onions are caramelizing, prepare the chipotle mayo by mixing all of the ingredients together in a small bowl.

11

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat, add 1 teaspoon of oil, and sear Trifecta burgers for 3 minutes on each side.

12

To build your burger, first place a Boston bib lettuce leaf as the bottom 'bun'.

13

Then add 2 slices of tomatoes, add your cooked burger patty, 1 tablespoon of chipotle aioli, add 1/4 cup caramelized onions, and 1/4 sliced avocado.

14

Serve immediately or meal prep in containers and refrigerate.
