Keto Burgers with Mushroom Sauce Recipe
Ingredients:
- 1 pound ground beef (patties formed into 4 large burgers)
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 cups sliced fresh mushrooms
- 2 ounces cream cheese
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 1 teaspoon garlic, crushed (about 2 cloves)
- 1/2 cup gruyere cheese, shredded
- 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 cup water or beef broth
Directions:
- Form the Burger Patties
Begin by shaping your ground beef into four large patties. Set aside while preparing the skillet. - Cook the Burgers
Heat a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, place the beef patties in the skillet. Reduce heat to medium and cook the burgers undisturbed for 5-7 minutes on one side. Flip and cook for another 5-7 minutes or until the burgers reach your desired level of doneness. Remove the burgers from the skillet and set aside. If needed, drain any excess grease from the skillet. - Prepare the Mushroom Sauce
In a separate nonstick skillet, melt the butter over medium-high heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and sauté, reducing the heat to medium, until they are golden brown and tender, about 5 minutes. - Make the Sauce
When the mushrooms are nearly done, stir in the crushed garlic and cook for an additional minute. Next, add the cream cheese, heavy cream, onion powder, thyme, salt, and pepper. Stir until the cream cheese is fully melted and the sauce is smooth and well combined. - Add Cheese and Sour Cream
Stir in the shredded gruyere cheese, allowing it to melt completely into the sauce. Once melted, add the sour cream and water or beef broth, stirring until the sauce is creamy and well combined. Allow the sauce to heat through and thicken slightly. - Serve
Serve the cooked burgers topped generously with the creamy mushroom sauce. Garnish with additional thyme or fresh herbs if desired. Enjoy immediately!
Recipe Notes:
- Mushroom Choice: Feel free to use your favorite mushrooms in this recipe, such as cremini or portobello, for added depth of flavor.
- Cheese Substitutes: If you can’t find gruyere, you can substitute with Swiss or another melting cheese like cheddar or mozzarella.
- Serving Ideas: These burgers are great served on lettuce wraps for a true keto meal, or you can enjoy them with a side of roasted veggies or a fresh salad.
