Keto Big Mac
Description
Two patties. Special sauce. Zero regrets, zero carb hangover.
This Keto Big Mac takes everything you know and love about the classic double-decker and rebuilds it low-carb, without cutting a single corner on flavour. Same creamy sauce, same pickle-and-onion crunch, same "why do I want three of these" energy, just without the bun-induced food coma afterward.
Big Mac sauce
Burgers
Instructions
-
Whisk all the sauce ingredients together in a bowl.
-
Cover and pop it in the fridge for at least 30 minutes, this bit's non-negotiable, the flavours need that time to properly come together.
-
Divide your beef into four portions and shape into very thin patties, thinner than you think.
-
Heat a large frying pan or griddle over high heat.
-
Season the patties and cook for about 2 minutes per side.
-
Add cheese to two of the patties during the final minute so it melts down properly.
-
Lightly toast your low-carb buns.
-
Spread sauce over the bottom bun.
-
Layer on lettuce, a beef patty, onion and pickles.
-
Add your middle bun, more sauce, the second patty, more onion and pickles.
-
Top it off with the top bun and eat it immediately, this is not a burger that waits around.

Note
WANT A LEANER LOWER CARB / CALORIE VERSION?
Skip the bun stacking entirely and make it a Big Mac bowl. Chopped lettuce as your base, patties and cheese on top, pickles, onion and sauce all over, finished with a sprinkle of sesame seeds. All the flavour, none of the assembly.
WANT IT EXTRA INDULGENT (HIGHER IN FAT)?
Throw on extra cheese, crispy bacon or a fried egg, don't ask questions, just do it. For a next-level bun, toast the inside of your low-carb bun in the same pan you cooked the patties in with butter, all that leftover beef flavour soaks right in.
Nutritional Note:
Carbs shown are net carbs (total carbs minus fibre), as this is the figure most relevant for keto intake. Nutritional Info based on keto version of recipe.
