Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb ground beef (80/20)
- 4 slices bacon
- 4 oz brie cheese, sliced
- 1/2 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
- 1 tbsp granulated sweetener (e.g., erythritol or monk fruit)
- 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/8 tsp pepper
- For serving: lettuce leaves, tomato slices, red onion slices
Instructions
- 1. Preheat grill or skillet over medium-high heat.
- 2. In a small saucepan, combine blueberries, sweetener, apple cider vinegar, and a pinch of salt. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until blueberries break down and mixture thickens, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
- 3. Cook bacon in a skillet until crispy. Drain on paper towels and set aside.
- 4. Form ground beef into 4 equal patties. Season with salt and pepper.
- 5. Grill or cook patties for 4-5 minutes per side for medium, or until desired doneness. In the last minute of cooking, top each patty with a slice of brie cheese, cover, and let melt.
- 6. Assemble burgers: Place a lettuce leaf on a plate, top with a patty with melted brie, add a slice of tomato and red onion, and 2 slices of bacon. Drizzle with blueberry jam.
- 7. Serve immediately, with extra blueberry jam on the side if desired.
Notes
This recipe is naturally low-carb and keto-friendly. You can substitute blueberries with raspberries or blackberries if preferred. Sweetener can be omitted for a tarter jam. For a non-low-carb version, serve on brioche buns.
