Keto Black and Blue Burger
You will love our Keto Black and Blue Burger! This low carb burger is made with ground Wagyu beef layered with fresh tomato, lettuce, mayo, blue cheese, and bacon. The combination of the flavors is incredible and creates an umami taste bomb!
How to Make It
Step 1
Prepare the tomato by slicing off the top and slicing the tomato into four equal portions. Wash the lettuce leaves and spin them dry. Set these both aside. Divide the ground hamburger meat into four equal parts. Roll them each into a ball. Roll them each for about 45 seconds. Doing so will ensure that the meat fibers begin to bind together. Season the top of the balls with half of the kosher salt and black pepper.
Step 2
Preheat a large seasoned cast iron or blue steel pan until hot. There is no need to add additional fat to the pan prior to adding the burgers if the fat content of the burgers is around 85%. Place each ball into the skillet. Smash them down using a wide spatula until they are about ½” thick.
Step 3
Allow them to cook on the first side for several minutes or until the bottom is browned. Flip and repeat on the other side. Add the remaining salt and pepper. Remove the burgers and repeat with the remaining portions of meat.
Step 4
While the burgers are cooking, cook the precooked bacon in the microwave for about 1 ½ minute adding an additional 15-30 seconds as needed, until crisp. Allow the bacon to cool slightly and crisp up.
Step 5
Top the burgers with the blue cheese slices. Turn the heat down to low and allow the cheese to melt on top. Remove the burgers from the heat.
Step 6
If using a Keto hamburger bun, slice the buns in half. Add to one side of the bun ½ tbsp mayo and spread evenly. Top the buns with the burger patties, then layer on a slice of tomato, a lettuce leaf, and three slices of bacon each. Top with the other half of the hamburger bun and serve immediately.
