Ingredients:
For the Burgers:
- 1 lb Ground Beef (80/20 fat ratio)
- 1 tsp Sea Salt
- 1/2 tsp Black Pepper
- Sesame Seed Hamburger Buns (Keto-friendly) — You can find these at most grocery stores or make your own with almond flour!
- Cooking Oil (avocado oil recommended)
For the Special Sauce:
- 1/4 cup Mayonnaise
- 1 tbsp Dijon Mustard
- 1 tbsp White Vinegar
- 1 tsp Worcestershire Sauce
- 1/2 tsp Onion Powder
- 1/4 tsp Garlic Powder
- Pinch of Paprika
- Salt and Pepper to taste
For the Assembly:
- Shredded Cheddar Cheese
- Sliced Lettuce
- Thinly Sliced Onion
- Pickle Slices
Instructions:
In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, white vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Set aside.
Divide ground beef into two equal portions and form each into a loose ball.
Heat a cast iron skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. Add a drizzle of cooking oil.
When the pan is hot, gently press down on each burger patty with a spatula, creating a thin, "smashed" patty. Season with sea salt and black pepper.
Cook the patties for 2–3 minutes per side, or until desired doneness.
While the burgers cook, lightly toast the hamburger buns in the skillet or griddle.
Spread special sauce on both sides of the toasted buns. Layer with lettuce, onion, pickle slices, cheese, and the juicy Keto Big Mac patty.
Devour and Enjoy!
Tips:
- Add a pinch of garlic powder to the ground beef before smashing for extra flavor.
- A regular frying pan can be used instead of a cast iron skillet.
- Experiment with different cheeses or add a slice of bacon for an extra decadent treat.
