I found the recipe for baked burgers on GetFitLaura.com, and I’ve always wanted to try baked bacon – so why not combine them and make baked bacon cheeseburgers? Easy, low-carb keto and delicious!
The instructions below are just for the burgers. The bacon requires the same oven temperature (400°F/204°C), which is convenient. Just preheat the oven, spread your bacon slices in a single layer on parchment / baking paper on a baking sheet (they can be touching as they will shrink, but don’t overlap them or they’ll stick together). Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes for chewy bacon or 25-30 minutes for crispy bacon. I would just put them in at the same time as the burgers, and take them out together if you like your bacon chewy, or leave the bacon in the oven while the burgers rest if you prefer crispier bacon. Either way, we think you’ll really enjoy these.
