This Grilled Keto Cheese Burgers recipe is sponsored by Black Creek but the content and opinions expressed here are my own.

Cheese burgers have always a favorite of mine, especially when they’re grilled. I’m talking about fancy restaurant burgers or homemade. This is important because you know exactly what ingredients are going in them and can control the quality, and therefore flavor. These Grilled Keto Cheese Burgers are loaded with flavor thanks to clean, quality ingredients. Savor this burger alongside some Crispy Potato Wedges for a perfect meal combination!

What is a keto diet?

If you’re not familiar with a keto diet, it basically consists of a moderate amount of protein, very limited complex carbs and plenty of healthy dietary fat. In theory this makes your body burn fat, since that’s its primary source of fuel, instead of sugar or glucose. While I’m not limited to any particular diet, this sure isn’t a bad way to eat. Ground beef, cheddar cheese, bacon, avocado and veggies, yes please. It’s a bomb of flavor and totally a keto cheese burger.

Tips for a better keto cheese burger

To make these burgers keto, I used portobello mushrooms as the bun. You may have heard of portobello burgers as a vegetarian option, but these are reversed. With minimal ingredients, quality is key for flavor and health in these Grilled Keto Cheese Burgers. When possible, use grass-fed and/or organic ingredients. For the cheese I used award-winning Black Creek® premium Cheddar cheese, specifically their Extra Sharp Aged 2 Years.

Their cheeses start in Wisconsin’s Fox River Valley, an area known for its picturesque pastureland. The region’s cows graze on nutrient-rich grasses, creating distinctly rich and creamy milk. The milk is then cultivated into smooth, full-flavored Cheddar with a flavor profile that is both rich and nutty.  

These Grilled Keto Cheese Burgers also include organic ingredients such as lean grass-fed beef, hormone/nitrate-free bacon and egg, as well as avocado and portobello mushrooms. Grilling season is always better with cheddar and keto burgers loaded with delicious flavor.
