Ingredients
For the Burger Patties
- 1 lb ground beef (preferably grass-fed)
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp onion powder
- salt and pepper to taste
For the Toppings
- 8 oz cremini mushrooms, sliced
- 1 tbsp olive oil or butter

Instructions
- In a large bowl, mix the ground beef with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Form into 4 evenly sized patties.
- Heat a skillet or grill over medium-high heat. Cook patties for 4–5 minutes per side until cooked to your preferred doneness.

- To serve, place each patty on a lettuce leaf or keto bun. Top with sautéed mushrooms and a drizzle of sauce. Serve hot.
Notes
