Recipe Description
DESCRIPTION: Get your macros and a full stomach with this tasty take on loco moco.
Fried eggs perch atop the burger for an extra punch of protein. So get to the kitchen and make this keto loco moco burger recipe for the family tonight!
If you’re trying to lose weight, protein can be your best pal. Researchers have found protein to be a better bet than carbs or fat for keeping you full.
That being said, it’s all about balance on a keto diet. Balancing out the burger, egg, and gravy is its cauliflower bed, which steps in for the rice more commonly used in loco moco dishes.
Recipe Directions
To make the cauliflower rice:
- Add coconut oil to a hot pan and cook the food processed cauliflower pieces until slightly tender.
- Season with salt to taste.
To make the loco moco:
- In a bowl, combine the ground beef, onion powder, garlic powder, salt and freshly ground black pepper and form into two burger patty shapes.
- Add 2 tablespoons of coconut oil to a frying pan (or you can grill these) and cook the patties on both sides until cooked to your liking.
- In the same pan, add 2 more tablespoons of coconut oil and sauté the sliced onions until they turn translucent. Add the garlic and mushrooms into the pan and increase the heat slightly to caramelize the mixture.
- Then add the beef broth and simmer to reduce.
To make the fried eggs:
- In the meantime, heat the 2 Tablespoons of coconut oil in a separate pan and fry the two eggs to your liking.
- Serve the burger patty over the cauliflower rice (on which you have spooned the gravy) and top with the fried egg and parsley.
