I had major cravings for a solid burger this weekend, so I decided to break out an old recipe. It was super tasty 🍔🥰🍟 Calorie breakdown: Juicy Lean Burger 142 calories + Fries 117 calories + Sam’s Choice Keto Friendly White Hamburger Buns 50 calories + Great Value – Cheese, Pasteurized Process, Fat-Free 30 calories + 10 calories Heinz Sugar Free Ketchup + 10 calories lettuce, tomato, pickle = 359 calories.
Here’s the recipe so you don’t have to go to another website:
BURGER:
453 gram Ground Beef 96% lean 4% fat
200 gram Mushrooms
0.5 teaspoon Salt 2 gram
0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Chop mushrooms very finely by hand or in a food processor.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
Saute the mushrooms for 4-5 minutes, and set aside to let cool.
Once cooled, mix mushrooms into the ground beef with the spices.
Shape into four patties.
Fry in a pan over medium-high heat flipping halfway through the cook time:
Medium (pink in the middle): 7-8 minutes total
Medium Well (smidge of pink in the middle): 9 minutes total
Well Done (no pink): 10 minutes total
FRIES:
450 gram Raw – Potato
1 second spray Cooking Spray
0.5 tsp Salt
Clean the potatoes.
Cut them into your preferred thickness such as quarter-inch thick slices. Using a Mandoline makes the job easier, but ALWAYS use the guard!
Optional Step – Please Don’t Skip!
This is a step that makes your fries crispier without adding extra calories. Potatoes have excess starch, removing that starch makes them crispier.
Dip or rinse the cut potatoes in water.
Add water to a big bowl and let the cut potatoes soak for at least 15 minutes for up to 6 hours. If you soak them longer than 30 minutes, put the bowl into the fridge.
Drain and remove excess moisture from the potatoes.
Seasoning and fry time
Add into a large bowl and quickly spray with cooking spray.
Add seasonings and mix.
Air Fryer – Recommended
Depending on your air fryer, preheat it to 380. Mine is almost instant and does not require preheating.
Line the potatoes into the air fryer in a single layer.
Bake for 15-20 minutes until browned and crispy. If your air fryer requires it, stop halfway and flip the potatoes. My air fryer does not require this step due to its moving air technology.
Oven
Preheat the oven to 375 F.
375 F for around 15 minutes
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place the potatoes in a single layer.
Let cook for 15 minutes, then flip them around.
Increase the temperature to 425 F and let cook an additional 10 minutes.
