Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Ground beef (preferably 80% lean)
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper
- 0.5 tsp Garlic powder
- 0.5 tsp Onion powder
- 0.5 cup Cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 tbsp Butter
- 2 tbsp Avocado oil or olive oil
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix gently with your hands until the seasoning is evenly distributed throughout the beef.
Divide the seasoned beef into 8 equal portions. Flatten each portion into a thin, circular patty approximately 1/4-inch thick.
Place about 1 tablespoon of shredded cheddar cheese in the center of 4 beef patties. Carefully cover each cheese-topped patty with another plain patty, and seal the edges by pressing down firmly. Make sure no cheese is exposed.
In a large skillet, heat the butter and avocado oil over medium-high heat until the butter is melted and the mixture is hot.
Place the cheese-stuffed patties into the skillet. Cook each side for about 5-6 minutes, or until the exterior is nicely browned and the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).
Remove the patties from the skillet and let them rest for a couple of minutes before serving.
Optionally, serve the patties with keto-friendly sides such as lettuce wraps, avocado slices, or grain-free buns.
