Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef (80% lean, 20% fat)
- 1 large egg
- 0.25 cup almond flour
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 sharp cheddar cheese slices
- 4 lettuce leaves
- 4 slices sliced tomatoes
- 4 slices pickles
- 4 teaspoons mayonnaise (optional)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, egg, almond flour, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
Mix together using your hands until all ingredients are fully incorporated. Do not overmix.
Divide the beef mixture into four equal portions and form them into patties about 3/4 inch thick.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add olive oil.
Once the oil is hot, carefully place the patties into the skillet without overcrowding. Cook in batches if necessary.
Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until they reach your desired doneness.
In the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty to allow it to melt.
Remove from the heat and let the patties rest for a minute.
To assemble, lay a large lettuce leaf on a plate, place a patty on top, followed by a slice of tomato and pickle.
Add a teaspoon of mayonnaise, if using, then wrap the patty with the lettuce leaf.
Repeat with the remaining patties and ingredients.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Keto Classic Homemade Hamburger.
