Tip!
Have fun and vary the ground meat. Lamb and turkey both work well with the bacon. A mixture of ground pork and beef or even ground wild boar meat can be fabulous if you can find that in your supermarket!
And feel free to add some herbs—finely chopped rosemary and oregano can really complement the flavors of the meat.
Don't forget the condiments! Our homemade ketchup—a sugar-free and natural alternative to regular ketchup—is featured... why not give it a try today?

Uncooked, so it is flexible enough to bend around the burger.
You may leave off the bacon.
If you need two meals, set the number of servings to 2. That will give you 1 dinner + 1 lunch.
