Bacon Cheeseburger (Keto)
A keto bacon cheeseburger built from a seared ground beef patty topped with sharp cheddar and crisp bacon, wrapped in butter lettuce instead of a bun. Sliced tomato, red onion and a mustard-mayo dressing add tang. Pan-fried in butter, finished with melted cheese under a lid, served open-faced.

Fry
Lay the bacon in a cold skillet and cook over medium heat for 6 minutes, turning once, until deep golden and crisp, then set aside.

Melt the butter in the same skillet over medium-high heat and sear the patty for 3 minutes until a dark brown crust forms.

Melt
Flip the patty, lay the cheddar on top, cover and cook over medium heat 3 minutes more until juices run clear and cheese melts.
