INGREDIENT NOTES:
CHEESE:
- Here, we need to use the classic American cheese to mimic the original version of the burger. If you couldn’ get one, then you may go for any other cheese as your taste preference like cheddar, swiss, etc.
TOPPINGS:
- Grilled onions, tomato slices, and dill pickles will let your keto version tastes nearest to the original dick’s deluxe burger. If you are strict keto, then use the limited amount of onions and tomatoes.
MAYONNAISE:
- To make the secret sauce, use homemade keto mayonnaise(full-fat) or avocado mayonnaise for a comparatively lighter sauce.
LETTUCE:
- As traditional buns are too high in carbs, swap these buns for large-sized romaine/iceberg lettuce leaves. You can also use the chaffle made up of keto items for more authentic feel.
GROUND BEEF:
- We have used the ground beef with 20% fat & 80% lean meat. This fat keeps your patties juicy & more flavorful. This makes your experience nearly realistic.
