Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound ground beef 80/20 blend
  • 4 ounces ground pork
  • 4 ounces feta cheese, crumbled
  • 1 large egg, lightly beaten
  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped red onion
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes optional
  • Salt to taste
  • Pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil or avocado oil

Equipment

  • Large bowl
  • measuring cups and spoons
  • large skillet
  • spatula
  • Mixing spoon

Method
 

  1. In a large bowl, gently combine the ground beef, ground pork, feta cheese, egg, red onion, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, oregano, and red pepper flakes (if using). Be careful not to overmix.
  2. Season the mixture with salt and pepper to taste. Remember that feta is already salty.
  3. Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and gently form into patties, about 3/4 inch thick. Make a slight indentation in the center of each patty with your thumb.
  4. Heat the olive oil or avocado oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  5. Carefully place the patties in the hot skillet, ensuring they are not overcrowded. Cook for 4-5 minutes per side for medium doneness, or longer if you prefer your burgers more well-done.
  6. Remove the patties from the skillet and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

For best results, use a blend of ground beef and ground pork for optimal moisture and flavor. Don't overmix the ingredients to avoid tough burgers. Make a slight indentation in the center of each patty to prevent bulging during cooking. Serve on a bed of lettuce or with keto-friendly toppings such as avocado slices, sliced tomatoes, red onion, and pickles. You can also use large portobello mushroom caps as 'buns'. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
