Keto Bacon Avocado Sliders Recipe

Intro - Grocery List - Directions - Macronutrients - Leftovers and Meal Prep

Keto sliders aren’t as easy (and mess-free) as regular sliders to eat, but they are equally satisfying. Where traditional sliders and paleo variations use carb-loaded bread or sweet potatoes to wrap their burgers – we’re going to opt for lean and mean romaine lettuce.

Concerned about your overall macro nutrition? With this slider variation, we’re including avocado, onion, pickles, and tomato. Not to mention… Bacon on top!

The recipe and grocery list below are designed for two servings. Feel free to scale up as necessary to please yourself and your household.

Grocery List:

Here’s what you will need for 2 servings of keto bacon avocado sliders.

• 2 tbsp olive (or coconut oil)
• 8 oz. ground beef 90% lean
• 4 large Romaine leaves
• 2 slices of large tomato
• 2 slices of onion
• 4 sliced dill pickles
• 2 medium garlic cloves
• 4 strips bacon
• 1 ripe avocado, thinly sliced
• long bamboo skewers, for assembly

Components:

Your kitchen will require the following

• One medium skillet

Directions:

1. Season the raw ground beef with salt, pepper, minced garlic and add 2 tbsp oil to help shape into patties that will be the right size to fit in the romaine leaves.
2. Refrigerate the patties for 20 minutes, which will help keep their shape and size as they're cooking.
3. Heat a large, heavy skillet over medium high heat and cook the burgers for about 2-3 minutes on each side for medium-rare.
4. Remove from the pan and set aside.
5. Each Slider assembled should have:

• 2 Romaine leaves
• 1 beef patty
• 1 slice tomato
• 1 slice onion
• 2 slices pickle
• 2 strips bacon
• 1/2 sliced avocado

Keep the stack together with a long bamboo skewer.

6. You can break off the last couple of inches for presentation if you like.
7. Enjoy your fresh made keto sliders!

LEFTOVERS AND MEAL PREP

You’re likely not going to have any leftovers making the traditional 2 servings of sliders – Since net carbs are extremely low at 6 grams per serving, splurging can be guilt free.

If you would like to meal prep sliders, you can do so with the burgers themselves, but keep the other vegetable ingredients on hand lest they mix/spoil over time in the fridge. Patties should hold for 2-4 days when properly sealed and stored in the refrigerator.
