Ingredients
  

  • 1 ½ lbs ground beef
  • 35 grams pork rinds or ½ cup almond flour
  • ½ small onion
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 3 tbsp Low Carb BBQ Sauce * see note 1
  • 2 tsp worcestershire
  • 1 tbsp dijon
  • 1 tsp sea salt
  • ½ tsp ground black pepper
  • 1 egg

Instructions
 

Equipment Needed

Directions

  • Heat a barbecue to 375°. Crush the pork rinds into a fine crumb using your fingers, smashing them with a rolling pin or sending them for a blitz in the food processor, until you have ½ cup firmly packed. Dump the crushed pork rinds into a large bowl and then grate half of a small onion over top of the pork rinds. *see note 2
  • Mix the onion into the pork rinds until fully combined. Mince the garlic finely or press it through a garlic press, then add it to the onion mixture along with the bbq sauce, worcestershire, dijon, salt, pepper, the egg and mix well. Knead in the ground beef until JUST combined. *see note 4
  • Divide the beef into 4 portions and then shape each into a round patty, about an inch thick.
  • Toss the patties onto the barbecue, out of direct flame, and grill for about 30-35 minutes, flipping halfway, until the internal temperature has reached 165°.

Notes

  1. Yummm I LOVE barbecue sauce! It's my favourite thing to load up onto my Keto buns when it comes to burgers. This Low Carb BBQ Sauce is super easy to make and crazy delicious! If you don't have any, and don't feel like making some, the bbq sauce can be replaced with no sugar added ketchup.
  2. I find it easier to use a whole onion and just grate half of it, that way a.) you have a handle and b.) it just grates SO much easier this way!
  3. We shred the onion into the pork rinds (or almond flour) to soak up all that yummy onion juice. This process makes our Keto Burgers that much more juicer, as well as saves a big step by not having to dice and fry the onion beforehand.
  4. Avoid over mixing the ground beef into the other ingredients. The more it is worked, the tougher the patties will be. We want beautiful, juicy Keto Burgers, not dense bricks of meat!
  5. Enjoy your Keto Burgers straight up, wrap some leaf lettuce around it for a lighter meal, or use of these Keto Breads to hold it all together: 90 Second Keto Bread, Keto Chaffles or Low Carb Onion Buns.
