    Each burger patty is 3 ounces (raw) beef before cooking.

    🥘 Ingredients

    Ground beef

    Kimchi, I buy this in the grocery stores refrigerated section.

    Sriracha sauce, there are several different kinds out there, I like to buy the spicy garlic one.

    Sugar free ketchup, this is important if you are following keto or low carb.

    Mayonnaise, I opt for full fat, but if you are not following keto, feel free to use a lighter mayonnaise

    Salt & black pepper to taste

    Cheese slices

    Keto burger buns (if not keto, regular burger buns are ok to use).

    Super flat ground beef patties cooking in a skillet.
    Flatten the burger patties thin so they work well for stacking!

    🔪 Instructions

    1. Divide the ground beef into 8 3 ounce portions. Shape into a flat burger patty. Place on a plate and season with salt and pepper.
    2. Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat until hot. Place the burgers in the skillet and cook for 3 minutes on each side, until burger reaches desired level of doneness.
    3. While the burgers are cooking, mix mayonnaise, sriracha sauce, and ketchup in a small bowl. Stir to combine and set aside.
    4. Lightly butter the bun top and bottom and place face down in a hot skillet. Cook for 1-2 minutes, until buns are lightly golden. Remove from the skillet.
    5. In the final minutes before burgers are done, place ½ slice of cheese on each burger and allow it to melt slightly.
    6. To serve, place one burger on top of the bottom bun, cover with 1 tablespoon of sauce, then layer with another burger patty and sauce. Top with ¼ cup of kimchi and place bun tops on burgers.
    A cup of chopped kimchi.
    Chop the kimchi up to make easier to top the burgers.

    🥄 Equipment

    Whether it is a single or double burger, the special sauce and chopped kimchi make this burger outstanding in flavor.

    🥫Storage

    Store any leftovers in the fridge in an airtight container up to 4 days.

    📖 Variations

    • Add a sweet touch to the burger sauce by stirring in a teaspoon of sugar free maple syrup, or pure maple syrup (for regular or Paleo diets).
    • Substitute a sugar free barbecue sauce or chili sauce for the ketchup.
    • Make a burger with just one beef patty and place a fried egg on top of the kimchi layer.

    💭 Tips

    • Flatten the burger patties out enough to be larger than the bottom of the bun as it will shrink when cooking.
