Here’s a delicious Carnivore Chaffle Burger recipe that combines the best of a carnivore diet with the convenience of chaffles. The chaffles serve as low-carb, cheese-based buns, making this an easy and satisfying option for those following the carnivore lifestyle.
Ingredients:
For the Chaffles (Buns):
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 large egg
- 1 tbsp ground pork rinds (optional, for added texture and flavor)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
For the Burger:
- 1 lb ground beef (80/20 for juiciness)
- 1 tbsp beef tallow or butter (for cooking)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Optional: cheese slices (cheddar, Swiss, or your favorite carnivore-friendly cheese)
- Optional toppings: bacon, pickles, or other carnivore-approved additions
Instructions:
For the Chaffles:
- Preheat your mini waffle maker.
- In a bowl, mix together the shredded mozzarella cheese, egg, and ground pork rinds (if using). Season with salt and pepper.
- Once the waffle maker is preheated, spoon half of the chaffle batter into the waffle maker, spreading it out evenly.
- Close the waffle maker and cook for about 3-4 minutes or until the chaffle is golden and crispy.
- Carefully remove the chaffle and repeat with the second half of the batter to make the second chaffle bun.
For the Burger:
- While the chaffles cook, form the ground beef into burger patties. Season with salt and pepper on both sides.
- Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add the beef tallow or butter.
- Once the skillet is hot, add the patties and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the desired doneness is achieved. If adding cheese, place a slice of cheese on the burger during the last minute of cooking and cover the skillet to melt it.
- Remove the burgers from the skillet and let them rest for a minute.
Assembling the Burger:
- Place one chaffle on a plate, then top with the cooked burger patty.
- Add any optional toppings like bacon or pickles if desired.
- Top with the second chaffle to complete the “bun.”
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
Optional Tips:
- You can make the chaffles ahead of time and store them in the fridge for a quick meal.
- If you want to add a bit more flavor, you can season the ground beef with garlic powder, onion powder, or your favorite spices.
- For a truly carnivore experience, skip any non-carnivore toppings and keep it meat and cheese only!
Enjoy your Carnivore Chaffle Burger!
