Another lunch post, another quickie meal.
For the burgs:
73/27 meat
1/2 teaspoon salt
black pepper to taste
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
1/8 teaspoon onion powder
couple dashes of liquid smoke
couple dashes of bagel seasoning – because it sits in my cupboard, unused
I formed into palm sized balls and placed on high heat grill with 4 slices of bacon on the top rack. With the high fat content I didn’t leave the grill unattended as I kept an eye on the proteins. About 4-5 minutes per side and I smashed them down to about 1 inch thickness. A little more salt was added to just coat lightly, wonderful.
Got these keto buns here from Aldi, which are perfect for my burgers. I added some mayo, spicy mustard, fresh sliced white onion, a tiny amount of ketchup (because sugar content is high), american cheese slice, and the bacon I roughly tore up and placed on it. Beautiful and extremely fatty, so much so that I will likely change the recipe to a leaner beef mixture. This is also why I added the mustard, because this benefits from that acidic mustard. Oh, I also added some diced canned jalapenos for a little more of that acid to balance out the fatty burger.
This will definitely give me the energy I need to hit the gym today, which is cardio/leg day. Just posted this picture on my instagram which you can find here. Happy Tuesday to all.
