I have turned my life around with a low-carb keto diet. This recipe is a wonderful new way to make burgers with all the same favorite flavors that I'm used to. Since the meat and toppings can be changed, the possibilities are endless and I never get tired of making these burgers. —Fay Moreland, Wichita Falls, Texas
Ingredients
1/2 pound lean ground beef (90% lean)
1 teaspoon all-purpose seasoning with garlic, onion, black pepper and sea salt
3 cups shredded cheddar cheese
15 dill pickle slices
12 pickled jalapeno slices
6 thin slices onion
optional: ketchup, prepared mustard and shredded lettuce
Directions
In a small bowl, combine beef and all-purpose seasoning, mixing lightly but thoroughly. Shape into three 4-in. patties.
Preheat miniature waffle maker. Lightly grease waffle plates. In batches, place 1/4 cup cheese on bottom plate. Top with 5 pickle slices and another 1/4 cup cheese. Close lid. Cook until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined baking sheet to cool completely. Repeat, using remaining pickle slices. Repeat 3 more times using 4 jalapeno slices and 2 onion slices in place of pickles.
In batches, place burgers on waffle iron; close lid. Cook burgers until a thermometer reads 160°, about 3 minutes.
Serve burgers with cheese crisps and optional toppings as desired.
