Have you ever had a Butter Burger? This easy and Keto Butter Burger Grilled burgers are a staple at our home, especially during the summer. It’s so easy to fire up the grill, throw on some burgers and veggies without ever getting your kitchen dirty. Since we’ve been following a Ketogenic diet, I’ve learned to love my burger without a bun, which is kind of crazy considering that the bun used to be my favorite part.

It’s always fun to change up burgers as there are many possibilities. Our favorite way to jazz up a burger is by adding butter. It’s true! Butter makes everything better. At least that is what I have found since following Keto. This recipe for a butter burger comes together with just a few ingredients, but don’t forget to add a big pat of butter before shaping the patties for incredible flavor.is going to be one you will absolutely fall in love with for the grill!

Keto Butter Burgers

These Keto Butter Burgers are the ultimate savory fat bomb!

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Cook Time: 10 minutes

Total Time: 20 minutes 

Ingredients

• 1 lb ground beef (85% lean)
• 3 T butter
• 2 oz cheese (any kind; I used Colby Jack)
• Salt to taste
• Pepper to taste
• Onion powder to taste (optional)
• Garlic powder to taste (optional)

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
2. In a medium-sized bowl, combine ground beef with your desired amount of salt and pepper. Optionally, add onion powder and/or garlic powder.
3. Press a small amount of beef (about 1 tbsp) into the bottom of a non-stick, 12-slot muffin pan so the bottom is fully covered.
4. Add a pat of butter to the top of each piece of beef.
5. Again add beef to the top. Press to flatten.
6. Add a small piece of cheese to the beef.
7. Add a final layer of beef. (It's okay if you don't have quite enough beef left to fully cover the top of the cheese.) Press to flatten.
8. Place the muffin pan in the oven and bake for 10 minutes. **If using a silicone muffin pan, place it on top of a cookie sheet before adding it to the oven!**
9. When the baking is complete, turn OFF the oven and crack the oven door for a few minutes to release the heat. This is to allow the excess oil to cool down.
10. Please be VERY CAREFUL before removing your muffin pan from the oven because the fat from the beef and butter will be very hot.
11. Using a fork, remove each Butter Burger from the pan and place on a plate. (Note: Your burgers should be cooked through; if they're not, return them to the oven for a few minutes.)
12. There will be a delicious beef fat/butter combo remaining in the muffin pan. Save this and use it to drizzle on your Butter Burgers, cook veggies, etc.
