Bacon Wrapped Cheese Stuffed Burgers (low-carb, keto, primal

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.

If you follow my recipe, you won't need to use a beer can to make them - a glass works just fine and since beer is a no-no for a keto diet, you'll avoid any temptations that could ruin your progress.

Step-by-step

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.
Add sliced bell peppers and cook for another 5 minutes.
Add sliced mushrooms and cook for 3-5 minutes. Take off the heat.
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.
Wrap 2 slices of bacon round the "meat bowl". Then, remove the glass carefully by gently twisting and pulling it up.
Fill each "meat bowl" with the onion-pepper-mushroom mixture and a teaspoon of Sriracha and Dijon mustard.
Finally, top with ¹/₄ cup of grated cheese. Repeat for the remaining burgers.
Place in the oven and bake at 150 °C/ 300 °F for 45-60 minutes (until the meat thermometer registers 75 °C/ 165 °F). When done, remove from the oven and let the burgers rest for 5 minutes.
Serve with crispy greens or other low-carb veggies. .

  Thank you Diane!

These tasted great! I did have trouble shaping them, but I was using venison, which is leaner. I ended up putting the bacon into a Texas sized muffin tray and putting everything on top. I poured some whisked egg over 2 cause I’m doing Whole30 and cheese on the rest. A great recipe to keep, but will use muffin tray again!

Can you use Coconut Oil as a replacement for Ghee? Does that work the same?
1. Martina @ KetoDietAuthor2 November 2016
  Coconut oil is great for cooking and it's a good option if you don't mind the taste. I would personally go for lard, duck fat or tallow.
