You’ll appreciate how simple this Keto recipe is. It allows you to modify and add other ingredients to your meal and food log easily for tracking your macros. These chorizo cheeseburgers are made with just 3 ingredients. Flavorful chorizo is stretched out with minced mushrooms and topped with melted pepper jack cheese. You don’t even need to add extra seasonings! You can incorporate the recipe into your Keto meal prepping or make it when you don’t have a lot of time for cooking. Store the finished chorizo cheeseburgers in an airtight container in your refrigerator for up to 5 days. ### What Type Of Chorizo To Use It’s really important you use raw, ground chorizo that you buy in a tube or fresh at a deli/butcher. You won’t be able to use any type of smoked or hard chorizo sausage. It’s up to you if you want to use mild or spicy chorizo for the recipe. If you can’t find chorizo at your grocery store, the closest substitution is to purchase plain ground pork and season it with your own blend of spices. ### Which Burger Toppings Are Keto? The great thing about cheeseburgers is aside from the bun, most ingredients are Keto! However, most ingredients don’t add any extra fat to your meal, so make sure you’re keeping an eye on your carbohydrates macros. All the common cheeseburger toppings are Keto-friendly: lettuce, tomato, small amounts of onion, pickles, and cheese. Other fun Keto-friendly burger toppings can be pickled jalapenos, guacamole, and fried bacon. Jessica L.

How to make Low Carb Chorizo Cheeseburgers

Prepare cremini mushrooms by mincing them as finely as you can. The finer you can mince the mushrooms, the better it will be for your burgers later. Combine the minced mushrooms in a large mixing bowl with raw, ground chorizo. Use your hands to blend the ingredients together, and you can add any additional spices at your discretion.
Heat the olive oil in a wide pan over medium-high heat. Portion the chorizo burger mixture and roll the portions into balls, packing the meat tightly with your hands. When the pan is hot, press the burgers down in the pan until they spread into thick patties. Let the burgers cook undisturbed on one side until they get a good char - you want the burgers well done. Place a lid over your pan to trap the heat and stop any grease from splattering.
Flip the burgers over with a spatula and reduce the heat slightly on your stove. Place a slice of pepper jack cheese over each burger, and let the burgers finish cooking. The melted cheese will also help ensure the burger stays together when it’s done. Serve a chorizo cheeseburger with your favorite burger toppings, such as lettuce, tomato, or avocado.
