Cheese Stuffed Bacon Cheeseburger

Keto Recipes > Keto Dinner Recipes

We’re continuing on with ketogenic recipes that are simple, easy, and have been staples of mine over the last 6 years. Generally speaking, keto does demand a bit more time in the kitchen than most other diets. You can’t just throw some store-bought meal into the oven or microwave, and it’s very hard to really enjoy the food when you make the same thing every day.

The other day, we were craving burgers – so I thought making one of my old favorites would be perfect to showcase, especially being in the state home to Juicy Lucys! Cheese stuffed bacon cheeseburger – it sounds so sinful in its own way, and rightly so. Since I started cooking for myself, I’ve mostly lived in small apartments that don’t allow for outdoor grills on the balcony. So, I mostly cook my meats in the oven or on the stove top and it’s no different here.

If you’re more of a griller, definitely feel free to grill the burgers – as I’m sure they’ll come out super awesome that way, too. The cheese melts on the inside and it extremely gooey by the time you’re done. Extra cheese on top never hurt, right? Plus, to finish it all off, we add a slice of bacon to really go the extra mile.
