I don’t know about you but Burgers are one of my favourite summer foods! We love grilling and homemade burgers are just the BEST – and if you’re living a low carb or Keto lifestyle burgers might be one of those menu items you’re tempted to get rid of because of the buns. But let me assure you, these Keto Burgers in a Bowl are SO good you won’t even miss the bun – trust me!!

One of the things I LOVE about eating low carb is how filling my meals are – enjoying one of these Keto Burgers in a bowl means I’m eating a TON more veggies than if I’d enjoy a burger with a bun. These Keto Burgers in a Bowl are packed with nutrition, they’re filling, and most importantly they’re SO delicious!

Pro Tips for Making Perfect Keto Burgers

Follow these simple tips and you’ll be creating perfectly cooked, juicy homemade Keto Burgers every time!

• Tip #1: Start with the right meat. When making homemade burgers buy good quality ground beef that’s about 80% meat and 20% fat (go for 80% lean beef from your meat market or grocery store). This helps give your burgers flavour without adding a bunch of extra ingredients and it helps them stay nice and juicy!
• Tip #2: Temperature matters. When mixing burgers the meat and all other ingredients should be at room temperature to ensure everything mixes evenly. Let your ground beef sit out of the fridge for several minutes before mixing everything together.
• Tip #3: Skip the breadcrumbs. The juiciest burgers contain limited ingredients (meat, spices, sometimes onions, etc.) and breadcrumbs aren’t necessary! Add some almond flour in place of the breadcrumbs for texture.
• Tip #4: Use your hands.  Combine the ingredients for your burger patties with your hands, mixing well but just until everything is combined.  Don’t over mix! Using your hands creates a nice even texture and it ensures everything is evenly mixed.
• Tip #5: Weigh your burgers. Using a kitchen scale to make sure that all burger patties are the same weight ensures that they cook evenly, since they’re all the same size! If you don’t have a kitchen scale, use an ice cream scoop or a dry measuring cup to make sure they’re evenly sized.
• Tip #6: Form the burgers properly. Use a burger press if you have one, not to pack the burger patties too tightly but to ensure they’re all an even thickness and diameter (this will help them cook evenly). Burger presses are inexpensive and readily available…check out mine HERE  (affiliate link). You can also press a finger into each burger to form a small divot on one side – this helps prevent them from shrinking too much while they cook.
• Tip #7: Chill before grilling or frying. Chilling your burger patties in the fridge for about 30 minutes before grilling or frying helps them stay together, keep their shape, and helps them stay nice and juicy!
• Tip #8: Don’t press! Resist the urge to press down on the burgers while they’re grilling. This just makes them dry (because it causes them to release their juices)
• Tip # 9: Use a meat thermometer.  Ensure the burgers reach an internal temperature of 160 degrees Fahrenheit (71 degrees Celsius) in the middle and remove them from the heat as soon as this temperature is reaches. There’s nothing worse than an under-cooked or over-cooked burger! Get my instant read thermometer HERE (affiliate link).
• Tip #10: Let them rest. When the burgers are cooked through to the correct temperature, remove them from the grill right away and let them rest for 3-5 minutes before serving. Resting helps create a juicy interior and it also helps the burgers stay together.
• Tip #11: Skip the buns and make it a BOWL! Serving a delicious homemade burger on a bed of lettuce with all the fixings (tomatoes, cheese, onions, pickles – you name it!) is the BEST Keto way to enjoy a burger. Feel free to wrap your burger in some iceberg lettuce to make a lettuce bun instead, if you’re set on that classic burger feel.
• Tip #12: Serve them with homemade, low carb burger sauce! My amazing homemade burger sauce is SO easy to make low carb and it’s really the only condiment you need to serve with homemade burgers! Get the easy recipe HERE (or check it out below in the recipe card!)
