One of my favorite things to eat since starting the ketogenic diet is a bacon cheeseburger bunless burger, but sometimes I like to switch it up a bit. These Keto Caprese Stuffed Burgers are perfect!
To give even more flavor to these keto stuffed burgers I used sundried tomatoes instead of fresh tomatoes - but you can really use whichever you prefer.
How To Reheat Stuffed Burgers
This recipe makes 5 burgers - which is perfect for meal prepping for the week.
To reheat simply cut a hole in the middle (or slice in half) and wrap with a wet paper towel.
Microwave for 30 seconds until you reach the desired temperature. The paper towel should prevent your burger from drying out.
MACROS
According to my favorite keto app - CarbManager - each burger has about:
- 2 net carbs
- 3 total carbs
- 43 grams of fat
- 36 grams of protein
- 548 calories
That is a pretty keto pie chart!
I love all things
