Ingredients

• 1½ pounds ground beef (80/20 recommended)
• 6 slices bacon
• 4 oz cheddar, mozzarella, or pepper jack cheese (cubed or shredded)
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
• Salt and black pepper, to taste
• 1 tablespoon olive oil (for skillet cooking)
• Optional toppings: avocado slices, lettuce, sugar-free BBQ sauce, mustard

Instructions

   In a large bowl, combine ground beef, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
   Mix gently until just combined.
2. Form and Stuff the Burgers:
   Divide the meat into 6 equal portions and flatten into thin patties.
   Place cheese in the center of each patty, then fold and seal the beef around it.
3. Wrap with Bacon:
   Wrap one slice of bacon around each burger, tucking the ends underneath or securing with a toothpick.
4. Cook the Burgers:
   • Skillet: Cook over medium heat for 5–6 minutes per side.
   • Grill: Grill over medium heat for 12–15 minutes, turning occasionally.
   • Oven: Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 20–25 minutes, broiling briefly to crisp bacon.
5. Rest and Serve:
   Let burgers rest for 3–5 minutes before serving to retain juices.

Description

These Low Carb Bacon Wrapped Stuffed Burgers are rich, savory, and incredibly filling.
The smoky bacon adds a crisp exterior while the inside stays juicy and packed with melted cheese.
They’re perfect served on their own or paired with a fresh salad or roasted vegetables for a complete low-carb meal.

Tips

• Use thicker-cut bacon for better wrapping and crispiness.
• Seal burger edges tightly to prevent cheese from leaking.
• Avoid overcooking to keep burgers juicy.
• Try different cheeses like Swiss or blue cheese for variety.
• Use a meat thermometer: 160°F (71°C) for fully cooked beef.

Correction

• If burgers fall apart, the beef may be too lean—use 80/20 ground beef.
• If bacon isn’t crispy, finish under the broiler for a few minutes.
• If cheese leaks out, use larger cheese chunks and seal edges more firmly.
