Instructions

1️⃣ Make the Keto “Bread” Alternative:

(If using chaffles as buns)

• Preheat a mini waffle maker.

• In a bowl, whisk together egg, shredded cheese, almond flour, baking powder, and garlic powder.

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

• Repeat for the second chaffle.

💡 Other Options:

✔️ Use cheese crisps for a crunchier burger bun.

✔️ Go bun-free and serve as a lettuce wrap!

2️⃣ Cook the Bacon:

• Cook bacon slices in a skillet over medium heat until crispy.

• Set aside on a paper towel to drain excess grease.

3️⃣ Prepare 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 cheddar cheese and cover with a lid to melt.

4️⃣ Assemble the Bacon Cheeseburger:

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

• Layer lettuce, pickles, the cheeseburger patty, and crispy bacon.

• Top with the second chaffle or lettuce wrap.

5️⃣ Serve & Enjoy!

• Pair with keto-friendly zucchini fries or a side salad for a complete meal!

🔥 Pro Tip: Add a fried egg, avocado, or caramelized onions for extra indulgence!
