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
Directions
Step 1
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.
Step 2
Divide the seasoned beef into 8 equal portions. Flatten each portion into a thin, circular patty approximately 1/4-inch thick.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
In a large skillet, heat the butter and avocado oil over medium-high heat until the butter is melted and the mixture is hot.
Step 5
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).
Step 6
Remove the patties from the skillet and let them rest for a couple of minutes before serving.
Step 7
Optionally, serve the patties with keto-friendly sides such as lettuce wraps, avocado slices, or grain-free buns.
