Instructions

1️⃣ Make the Keto “Bread” Alternative:

(If using chaffles as buns)

• Preheat a mini waffle maker.

• Pour half the batter into the waffle maker and cook for 3-4 minutes until golden brown.

2️⃣ Sauté the Mushrooms:

• Heat butter in a skillet over medium heat.

• Add sliced mushrooms, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and Worcestershire sauce.

• Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until mushrooms are browned and caramelized.

• Remove from heat and set aside.

3️⃣ Cook the Burger Patties:

• In a bowl, mix ground beef, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and Worcestershire sauce.

• Form into two equal-sized patties.

• Heat butter in a skillet over medium-high heat.

• Cook patties for 3-4 minutes per side, until nicely browned and cooked to your preferred doneness.

• During the last minute of cooking, top with Swiss cheese and cover with a lid to melt.

4️⃣ Assemble the Mushroom Swiss Burger:

• Spread mayo or Dijon mustard on the bottom chaffle (or lettuce wrap).

• Layer lettuce (if using), the Swiss cheeseburger patty, and sautéed mushrooms.
