A Carnivore Burger is a high-protein, low-carb meal focused on meat and animal-based ingredients, ideal for those following a carnivore diet. Here’s how to make a delicious and satisfying carnivore burger
Ingredients:
- 1 lb ground beef (80/20 or 85/15 for extra juiciness)
- Salt and pepper (to taste)
- 4 slices of bacon (optional)
- 2 slices of cheese (optional, like cheddar, Swiss, or blue cheese)
- 1 fried egg (optional)
- Butter or beef tallow (for cooking)
Instructions:
- Prepare the ground beef:
- Form the ground beef into 2-3 burger patties (about 1/3 pound each). Press them slightly to flatten, and season both sides generously with salt and pepper.
- Cook the bacon (optional):
- In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crispy. Remove and set aside, leaving the bacon fat in the pan for added flavor.
- Cook the burgers:
- Heat the skillet with the bacon fat (or add butter or beef tallow if skipping bacon) over medium-high heat.
- Place the burger patties in the hot skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium doneness. Cook longer for well-done or shorter for rare.
- If you’re using cheese, add a slice on top of each patty during the last minute of cooking. Cover the pan briefly to melt the cheese.
- Fry the egg (optional):
- In the same skillet, fry the egg to your liking (sunny-side-up, over easy, etc.) if you want to top your burger with an egg.
- Assemble the burger:
- Serve the burger patties either on their own or stacked with bacon, melted cheese, and the fried egg on top. You can skip the bun, but if you’re craving a sandwich-like feel, use two carnivore waffles (chaffles) as buns for a completely carnivore-friendly burger.
Optional Toppings (Carnivore-Friendly):
- Crispy bacon
- Extra melted cheese
- Fried or poached egg
- Butter or a dollop of sour cream
This Carnivore Burger is a flavorful, protein-packed meal that skips the carbs and focuses on hearty, satisfying meat. It’s perfect for anyone following a carnivore or keto diet!
