Easy Hamburger Meal Prep

About

Premade hamburger patties can make staying on any Keto or low carb diet effortless. Usually, hamburger patties are eaten with hamburger buns, but on the Keto diet, they are a no-go. Even “Keto” hamburger buns contain wheat products, which are best avoided if you are trying to eat as healthy as possible.

Healthy eating is why we created this easy Keto Hamburger Meal Prep recipe. A hamburger patty is paired with mixed green lettuce, cherry tomatoes, a slice of cheese, pickles, plus a mixture of ketchup, mustard, and mayonnaise. If you use mayonnaise, however, try to find a brand made with olive oil or avocado oil instead of soybean or canola oil which can be inflammatory to our bodies.

Can I add other ingredients to this meal?

To spice up the hamburger sauce, you can add a little ground horseradish.

To bulk up the meal, you can add more lettuce or more cherry tomatoes. Feel free to add more pickles as they add negligible calories and net carbs. If you like your burger spicy, drizzle on some sriracha.

If you need more fat in your meal, add guacamole or sliced avocado.

What kind of hamburger patty should I use?

Source a premade patty that is 100% ground beef with nothing else added to it. I like to use the pre-cooked ones, but cook the patties yourself if you can find only the raw premade patties.

Ingredients

1 cup lettuce
24 grape tomato
4 slice (from pre-sliced package) – each 3/4 ounce muenster cheese
16 oz hamburger patty
4 tablespoon no sugar added tomato ketchup
4 teaspoon mustard
4 tablespoon mayo
12 slice pickles

Instructions

Fill each meal prep container with ¼ cup of mixed green and 6 cherry tomatoes. Feel free to leave the tomatoes whole for ease or cut them in half. I like to leave them whole as they last longer in the fridge.
Combine the ketchup, mustard, and mayo to make the sauce. Mix the condiments together well. Divide it into four airtight containers.
Top each hamburger patty with one slice of cheese. You can use any kind of sliced cheese for this step. Wrap it in plastic wrap to make it easy to remove and reheat later.
Place the sauce in the container using a separate container to hold it. Top with an airtight lid and store for up to five days in the refrigerator.
