Ingredients
  

  • 2 pounds ground beef 80/20 blend
  • 4 tablespoons cold butter cut into 4 pats
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 4 slices cheddar cheese
  • 8 slices cooked bacon
  • Lettuce leaves for serving
  • Sugar-free ketchup and mustard for topping

Method
 

  1. Divide the ground beef into 8 equal portions and gently shape into thin patties, being careful not to overwork the meat.
  2. Place one pat of cold butter in the center of 4 patties, then top each with another patty and seal the edges completely to enclose the butter inside.
  3. Make a small indentation in the center of each burger with your thumb, then season both sides generously with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
  4. Heat a cast iron skillet or grill to medium-high heat and cook the burgers for 4-5 minutes per side for medium doneness, or until they reach your desired temperature.
  5. During the last minute of cooking, top each burger with a slice of cheddar cheese and allow it to melt.
  6. Remove from heat and let the burgers rest for 3 minutes before serving on lettuce leaves with bacon and your favorite sugar-free condiments.
