Ingredients (Serves 2-3)
For the Patties:

- 1 tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp onion powder
- ½ tsp paprika
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce (adds a deep umami kick)
For the Toppings:
- 2-3 slices cheese (cheddar, Swiss, or provolone)
- 2-3 leaves lettuce (butter lettuce or romaine)
- 1 avocado, sliced (for that creamy texture)
- 2 tbsp sugar-free mayo
- 1 tbsp mustard (Dijon or yellow)
- 1 tbsp sugar-free ketchup
- ½ small red onion, thinly sliced
- 1 tomato, sliced
- 4 pickle slices (optional but recommended!)
Instructions
Step 1: Prep the Patties
- In a large bowl, mix the ground beef with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and Worcestershire sauce.
- Divide into 2-3 equal portions and shape them into patties. (Press a little dent in the center so they cook evenly.)
Step 2: Cook the Patties
- Heat a skillet or grill over medium-high heat. Add a little oil if needed.
- Cook the patties for 3-4 minutes per side (or until done to your liking).
- Add a slice of cheese on top during the last minute and let it melt.
Step 3: Assemble the Burger
- Use lettuce leaves as your “bun” base.
- Place the cheesy burger patty on top.
- Add avocado, tomato, onion, pickles, and your favorite sauces.
- Top with another lettuce leaf and boom—you’ve got a perfect keto burger!
