Ingredients
Burgers
- 2 lbs Ground beef
- 4 oz Feta cheese
- 1 Egg
- 2 tbsp Fresh chopped basil
- 2 tsp Minced garlic
- Salt and pepper to taste
Tomato Cream Sauce
- 2 tbsp Beef stock
- 1 cup Heavy whipping cream
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- 1/4 cup Chopped green onions
- 2 tbsp Tomato paste
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the burger mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, egg, crumbled feta cheese, chopped basil, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Use your hands to mix everything thoroughly until well blended.
- Form patties: Shape the meat mixture into 14 equal-sized patties, ensuring they are uniform for even cooking.
- Cook the patties: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties in batches if necessary, ensuring each side is browned and cooked to your desired doneness.
- Set aside patties: Remove the cooked patties from the skillet and set them aside. Carefully drain any excess grease from the pan.
- Deglaze the pan: Lower the skillet’s heat to medium and add 2 tablespoons of beef stock. Scrape the bottom of the pan to lift all the tasty bits left from cooking the burgers.
- Make the tomato cream sauce: Whisk in the heavy whipping cream, Italian seasoning, chopped green onions, and tomato paste. Stir until the ingredients are fully combined.
- Reduce sauce: Season with salt and pepper to taste and cook the sauce on medium heat until it thickens to a creamy consistency.
- Combine patties and sauce: Return the patties to the skillet and gently toss them in the tomato cream sauce, coating them evenly.
- Serve: Plate the burgers and garnish with additional fresh chopped green onions if desired. Enjoy your creamy keto feta burgers!
Notes
- You can adjust the seasoning according to your taste preferences.
- Make sure not to overcrowd the skillet when cooking patties to ensure proper browning.
- This recipe is ideal for a ketogenic diet due to its low-carb content.
- Leftover patties can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- For added flavor, consider adding a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes to the tomato cream sauce.
