Warm weather brings BBQs, which can jeopardize your healthy eating, but you don’t have to miss out on those juicy delicious burgers. You can enjoy a “lean” burger that does not sacrifice any flavor! This recipe uses lean ground sirloin and, instead of high carb burger buns, you eat your burger on top of a “What Belly” biscuit. For those of you who are not familiar with the Wheat Belly Cookbook by Dr. Williams Davis, I highly suggest that you read it. It includes great information about your health and delicious recipes as well.
Lean Cheeseburger on a Wheat Belly Biscuit
Recipe type: Main
Cuisine: Burger
Serves: 3
Ingredients
- Burger:
- 1 lb. 98% Lean Ground Sirloin
- 3 Slices Cheddar Cheese
- Pepper to taste
- 3 Tomato Slices (optional)
- 3 Full Onion Slices (optional)
- 3 Pickles (optional)
Biscuits:- ½ c. Almond Meal (not almond flour)
- ½ c. Ground Flaxseed
- 2 tsp. Baking Powder
- 2 tbsp. Cold butter, cut into cubes
- 2 Egg Whites
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F.
- Grease a cookie sheet with oil or cooking spray, or line the baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, mix together the almond meal, flaxseed, and baking powder. Cut in the butter until combined.
- In a medium sized bowl, beat the egg whites on high until soft peaks form. Gently fold the egg whites into the bowl with the dry ingredients until well blended.
- Spoon the dough into 3 rounds on the baking sheet. Flatten to ¾ inch thickness. Bake for 15 minutes, or until golden brown.
- While biscuits are baking, create 3 burger paddies from the 1lb. ground sirloin by adding pepper (add as much or little as you want here) to the beef and then gently form into 3 balls.
- Flatten each to a ¾-1 inch thickness.
- You can grill the patties or cook them on your stove range - for cooking it on your range, grease a large pan with oil or cooking spray and place the 3 burger patties on the pan over medium-low heat. Cook each side for about 5 minutes or until desired wellness.
- If you would like cheese on your burger, place a slice of cheese on top of each burger 1 minute before the end of the cooking time so that it melts completely.
- Once your burgers and biscuits are done, place one biscuit on a plate and put the burger on top of it. Add a tomato slice, some white onion slices, ketchup, and a pickle on the side (or any other toppings that you prefer).
- Enjoy!
