This keto burger is based on the popular Beer Can Burger which is ground beef wrapped in bacon and filled with roasted vegetables and cheese. I used roasted onions, bell peppers and mushrooms and topped each burger with homemade mustard, Sriracha and grated cheddar cheese.

If you follow my recipe, you won't need to use a beer can to make them - a glass works just fine and since beer is a no-no for a keto diet, you'll avoid any temptations that could ruin your progress.

I changed the way I ate in 2011, when I was diagnosed with Hashimoto’s, an autoimmune disease that affects the thyroid. I had no energy, and I found it more and more difficult to maintain a healthy weight.

That’s when I decided to quit sugar, grains, and processed foods, and to start following a whole-foods-based ketogenic approach to food.

I am so happy I stumbled upon this recipe! These burgers were delicious and not to mention healthy! We will be making these again!

Thank you Courtney! 😊

I just placed this dish in the oven! So excited to see how it comes out 🤗

I made this to your exact recipe and they were delicious and very filling! They look pretty impressive as well! Thank you.

Thank you Diane!

These tasted great! I did have trouble shaping them, but I was using venison, which is leaner. I ended up putting the bacon into a Texas sized muffin tray and putting everything on top. I poured some whisked egg over 2 cause I’m doing Whole30 and cheese on the rest. A great recipe to keep, but will use muffin tray again!

Wow! Mine is cooking in the oven now! My first meal following the Keto diet! Im excited! 😊

These are delicious! One of our favourites!

I have tried this and it tasted amazing! Thankyou! 😊

Awesome! I'm glad you liked it!

Can you use Coconut Oil as a replacement for Ghee?  Does that work the same?

Coconut oil is great for cooking and it's a good option if you don't mind the taste. I would personally go for lard, duck fat or tallow.

wow these look great. I'm putting the them on my traeger grill tonight

Thank you, I hope you like them!

These are awesome! Perfect stuffing and so easy!

Thank you Tim!
