Keto Cheeseburger Bombs

by

Keto Cheeseburger Bombs are a tasty way to savor the flavors of a traditional cheeseburger without the added carbohydrates. Prepare these bombs with melted cheddar cheese, keto-friendly sauces, and seasoned minced beef wrapped in soft fathead dough. The dough remains cheesy and juicy on the inside while turning golden and somewhat crisp on the outside. They also make portion management simple because each bomb is a single meal. You can eat them by themselves or with a dipping sauce, such as ranch or sugar-free barbecue, or with a side salad. These Keto Cheeseburger Bombs will satisfy your cravings, whether you’re rigorously following the ketogenic diet or are simply reducing your carb intake.

INGREDIENTS:

  • 1 cup cheddar cheese
  • One tablespoon olive oil
  • One tsp. garlic powder
  • One lb. ground beef
  • One tsp. onion powder
  • Salt
  • 2 tbsp. keto ketchup
  • 1 tbsp. mustard
  • Black pepper
  • 1 tbsp. pickle relish
  • 1 egg
  • 1 batch keto fathead dough

INGREDIENT NOTES:

GARLIC POWDER:

  • The faint yet evident depth that garlic powder offers helps to balance the beef. It replicates the taste of fresh garlic with no additional preparation or carbohydrates.

BEEF:

  • The main ingredient, ground beef, gives the dish a deep, savory flavor and provides enough protein and fat to keep it substantial for more juiciness and improved texture in each mouthful.

CHEDDAR CHEESE:

  • They have a gooey middle that makes them taste like a cheeseburger because of the gentle melting of cheddar cheese inside the bombs. Utilize Colby Jack or mozzarella for a little variation in taste in place of cheddar cheese.

OLIVE OIL:

  • It is sautéed in olive oil to keep the beef combination wet and improve its flavor. Additionally, it makes sure the meat and seasonings mix well.

KETO PICKLE:

  • Pickle relish is optional, but it gives a typical cheeseburger taste and a little crunch. This works very nicely if you prefer your burgers with a tangy bite.

FATHEAD DOUGH:

  • Fathead dough provides ease in making these bombs. It is a low-carb combination of mozzarella, cream cheese, almond flour, and egg that takes the place of traditional bread. It keeps the filling inside and bakes to a golden brown.

EGG:

  • Egg wash produces a glossy, golden crust over the dough before baking. Sesame seeds and other alternative toppings adhere better because of the egg wash.

ONION POWDER:

  • Onion powder adds a subtle sweetness and savory accent to the filling to balance out the taste of the cheeseburger. It quickly blends into the beef to create a consistent flavor.

MUSTARD:

  • The sharpness and little tang that mustard brings to steak and cheese go well together. It provides the flavor and fixes the richness.

SALT & PEPPER:

  • Salt and pepper are basic but necessary ingredients that bring out the inherent tastes of the cheese and steak.

KETO KETCHUP:

  • Sugar-free ketchup adds a tangy, slightly sweet touch to the filling while keeping the recipe keto-friendly. It delivers the classic cheeseburger taste without the additional sugar.
