Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground beef (80% lean)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 4 slices Cheddar cheese slices
- 8 leaves Butterhead lettuce leaves
- 8 slices Dill pickle slices
- 1 small, sliced Tomato
- 0.5 small, sliced Red onion
- 4 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
Directions
Step 1
Divide the ground beef into 4 equal portions, roughly 4 ounces each. Roll them gently into balls and set aside.
Step 2
Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter, allowing it to melt and coat the pan.
Step 3
Place two beef balls into the skillet, leaving enough space between them.
Step 4
Using a sturdy spatula, smash each beef ball down until it is about 1/4-inch thick. This may take some pressure. Season them with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
Step 5
Cook the patties without moving them for about 2-3 minutes, or until the edges start to brown.
Step 6
Flip the patties carefully and place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty.
Step 7
Cook for another 1-2 minutes, allowing the cheese to melt, then remove the patties and set aside. Repeat the process with the remaining beef balls.
Step 8
To assemble the Keto Double Smash Burger, take two lettuce leaves as your base and spread 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise over them.
Step 9
Add one cheese-covered patty on top of the lettuce, followed by a few slices of tomato, red onion, and dill pickle.
Step 10
Layer the second patty on top and cover with another two lettuce leaves as the top 'bun'.
Step 11
Secure the burger with a toothpick if necessary. Repeat for the second burger.
Step 12
Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious Keto Double Smash Burger!
