INGREDIENTS:

FOR THE SECRET SAUCE:

  • Mustard, 1 tbsp.
  • 1/3 cup mayonnaise
  • One tbsp dill pickle relish
  • 1/4 tsp paprika
  • Ketchup(unsweetened), 1 tbsp.

FOR THE PATTY MELTS:

  • Salt
  • Onion powder, 1 tsp.
  • keto-friendly bread, 8 slices
  • 1 tbsp butter or avocado oil
  • Garlic powder, 1 tsp.
  • 1 medium onion, sliced
  • Swiss cheese or cheddar, 8 slices
  • Pepper
  • Smoked paprika, 1 tsp
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • Ground beef, one lb

INGREDIENT DIRECTIONS:

ONION:

  • We use a full onion to provide a sweet flavor with normal carbs while distributed between each serving. Use half an onion or cooked mushrooms instead for a low-carb version.

SECRET SAUCE INGREDIENTS:

  • Ketchup(unsweetened) maintains low-carb content.  If you do not have relish, finely cut dill pickles. You can use any mustard that will work, but yellow mustard has the best natural flavor.

KETO BREAD:

  • Select a variety that includes two to four net carbs per serving.  Almond flour bread works perfectly.  You can use chaffles instead for an even less-carb alternative.

CHEESE:

  • The use of Cheddar and Swiss melts works well, but provolone and pepper jack are also great keto options.  Don’t use prepared cheese slices that contain extra fillers.

GROUND BEEF:

  • We can use ground beef, eight by twenty, for juicy patties.   Use ground turkey or chicken instead, but the fat content improves the taste and softness. Add a tsp of olive oil or butter to help retain its moisture if using leaner meat.

STORAGE INFORMATION:

Patty melts prefer to be kept with the bread and patties separately.  To prevent soggy results, assemble only before warming.

REFRIGERATION:

  • Keep the patties in a closed vessel for four days. Place the sauce and the onion separately in the fridge for 4 to 5 days. Keto bread can be refrigerated at a neutral temperature, according to the brand.

FREEZING:

  • Store cooked patties for 50-60 days. For easy use, keep caramelized onions in small servings. Avoid storing the assembled patty melts in the freezer because the bread becomes harder rapidly.

FAQs:

May I air-fry the patties?

  • Yes, cook each side for at least five minutes at 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

Could I swap beef with turkey?

  • Sure, but you can use fat in a smaller amount, so the patties will remain juicy.

Do I need to caramelize the onions?

  • The use of caramelized onions provides a good taste to the patties, but you can cook them rapidly for a low-carb version.

Is it possible to prepare the sauce before the time?

  • Yes, it stores well in the refrigerator for almost four to five days.
