Keto Spinach And Artichoke Burgers
How to Make It
Step 1
Melt the butter in a pan over low heat on a stove. Add in whole spinach leaves and artichoke hearts, and stir until the spinach wilts down in the butter. Place a lid over the pan and let it simmer for 4-5 minutes over low heat. Once the artichoke hearts are softened, use a wooden spoon to break up the artichoke layers.
Step 2
Stir the heavy cream into the pan of spinach and artichokes. Return the lid to the pan again and bring the cream to a simmer. Let the pan simmer once more for another 3 minutes over very low heat. Remove the lid and stir in the gouda cheese. Once the cheese has melted, set the pan aside to cool.
Step 3
In a mixing bowl, mix together the ground beef with seasoned salt, pepper, paprika, onion powder, and garlic powder. Use your wooden spoon to mix about ⅓ of your spinach and artichoke mixture into the ground beef. Since no extra binder is added, use your hand or the spoon to tenderize the ground beef to release some of the fat. The fat will help the mixture bind together.
Step 4
Heat individual 1 teaspoon portions of oil for each burger you’re going to cook in a new pan on the stove. Heat the oil on high heat and portion the ground beef into your servings. Press each serving into a portion of oil and press the burgers into ½-inch thick patties. Cook the burgers to your desired doneness. You may wish to slightly undercook the burgers because they will be finished in the oven.
Step 5
Preheat your oven’s broiler on high heat. Line a sheet tray with parchment paper or lightly spray a seasoned tray with pan spray. Arrange the burgers on the tray and spoon an equal amount of leftover spinach and artichoke filling on top of each burger. Sprinkle ½ teaspoon of parmesan cheese on top of each burger and set the tray in your oven. Broil the burgers for about 5 minutes or until the tops become lightly golden brown.
