Ingredients (makes 2 burgers)

  • 2 Ultimate Keto Buns or Nut-Free Keto Buns
  • 300 g ground beef (10.6 oz)
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1/4 tsp ground black pepper
  • 1 tsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 4 tsp paleo mayonnaise (20 ml) - you can make your own mayo
  • 85 g blue cheese (3 oz)
  • 2 large slices tomato (85 g/ 3 oz)
  • 4 small lettuce leaves (30 g/ 1.1 oz)
  • ghee or olive oil for greasing

Instructions

  1. Prepare the keto burger buns. If you don't have any, you'll need an extra hour to prepare them.
    Note: If you can't eat nuts, you can make nut-free keto buns instead. For extra flavor, use this recipe to make yeast keto buns. Keto Blue Cheese Burger
  2. In a bowl, mix the ingredients for the burger patties: beef, onion powder, garlic powder, apple cider vinegar, sea salt and black pepper. Do not overmix or the burgers will become tough.
  3. Using your hands, create 2 equal patties, 1/2 to 3/4 inch (1 1/4 to 2 cm) thick. Use your hands to smooth any cracks.
  4. Pierce the patties with a fork several times. This will loosen the patties and help them cook equally without curling or getting tough while enabling maximum caramelisation. Set aside. Keto Blue Cheese Burger
  5. Grease a hot skillet with a small amount of ghee or olive oil, and add the burger patties. The patties should sizzle as soon as they touch the skillet. Cook over high heat, until a crust forms on the bottom and the burgers are easy to flip on the other side, about 2-3 minutes.
  6. Once flipped, cook until the crust forms on the bottom and the sides are browned. Do not pierce the burgers with a fork or you will lose the juices.
  7. Top with pieces of blue cheese and cook for another 2-3 minutes. The thicker the patties, the longer they will take to cook. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
    Note: Fat for greasing is not included in the nutrition facts as some fats in the meat are lost during the cooking process. Keto Blue Cheese Burger
  8. To assemble the burger, spread about a teaspoon of mayonnaise on each bun halve. Top with a burger patty, a large slice of tomato, few lettuce leaves, and then add the top bun. Keto Blue Cheese Burger
  9. Eat immediately while still warm. Keto Blue Cheese Burger

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.
