Homemade Keto Big Mac Burger
Ingredients
For the burger patties:
1 lb ground beef (80/20 blend works best)
Salt & pepper to taste
½ tsp garlic powder (optional)
For the cheese & toppings:
4 slices cheddar cheese
Iceberg lettuce, shredded
Dill pickles, sliced
1 slice of tomato (optional, low-carb friendly)
For the keto bun (cloud bread or chaffle style):
2 eggs
1 cup shredded mozzarella or cheddar
2 tbsp almond flour
½ tsp baking powder
For the Big Mac–style sauce (keto friendly):
½ cup mayonnaise
2 tbsp sugar-free ketchup
1 tsp mustard
1 tbsp diced pickles (or relish, no sugar added)
½ tsp paprika
Salt & pepper
Instructions
1. Make the keto buns
Mix eggs, cheese, almond flour, and baking powder until combined.
Cook in a mini waffle maker (for chaffles) or pour into greased ramekins and bake at 375°F (190°C) for ~12–15 minutes.
Let cool — these will be your buns.
2. Cook the burger patties
Form beef into 4 thin patties.
Season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
Cook in a skillet or grill until done, adding cheese slices on top to melt.
3. Make the sauce
In a bowl, combine mayo, sugar-free ketchup, mustard, diced pickles, paprika, salt, and pepper.
Mix well and chill until ready.
4. Assemble your keto burger
Bottom keto bun → sauce → lettuce → cheese burger patty → sauce → pickles → second patty → more sauce & toppings → top bun.
✅ Keto Notes
Regular Big Mac is ~45–50g carbs. This keto version is only 4–5g net carbs (depending on the bun substitute).
You can also go bunless and wrap it in iceberg lettuce for a “protein style” burger.
Perfect for meal prep — patties and sauce can be made ahead!
