What is a Carnivore Burger?
A carnivore burger is a culinary masterpiece designed for those who embrace a meat-based diet. Unlike traditional burgers that include toppings like lettuce, tomatoes, and cheese, the carnivore burger focuses on high-quality meats and animal-based ingredients. It is a protein-rich, no-nonsense dish that appeals to the primal instincts of meat lovers.
Choosing the Right Meat
The foundation of any great burger is the meat, and for a carnivore burger, it's crucial to select the best cuts. Here are some options:
- Ground Beef: Opt for ground beef with a higher fat content, such as an 80/20 mix. The fat ensures a juicy, flavorful burger. You can also get pre-made ground beef patties for this.
- Bison: For a leaner alternative, bison offers a rich, slightly sweet flavor that pairs well with bold seasonings.
- Lamb: If you enjoy a gamier taste, ground lamb provides a unique twist with its robust, earthy flavors.
- Pork: Ground pork adds a subtle sweetness and is an excellent choice for blending with other meats.
Ingredients Needed for Carnivore Burgers
- 4 Burger Patties - can make these homemade or use store bought ones
- 4 slices of Pepper Jack Cheese
- 4 slices of Bacon - pre cooked
- 8 large eggs
- ¼ cup Colby Jack or Cheddar Cheese
- Salt and Pepper: The simplest yet most effective seasonings that enhance the natural taste of the meat.
How to Make Carnivore Burgers
Step 1 Preheat the Grill or Skillet: Ensure your cooking surface is hot before placing the patties on it. This helps in searing the outside, locking in the juices.
Step 2 Form the Patties: Shape your meat mixture into patties slightly larger than the buns, as they will shrink while cooking.
Step 3 Cook to Your Preference: For a juicy burger, cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare. Adjust the time based on your desired doneness. Place a slice of Colby Jack Cheese on top and let the cheese melt on the burger.

Step 4 Let Them Rest: After cooking, let the burgers rest for a couple of minutes. This allows the juices to be redistributed, making the burger more tender.
Step 5 While the burger is cooking make a chaffle. Mix together 2 eggs and cheese ina bowl. Then pour half of it into a mini dash waffle iron. Repeat a second time until you have to chaffle buns.
Serving Suggestions
Although a carnivore burger doesn't traditionally include a bun, you can serve it creatively:
- Chaffle: A chaffle is a delightful culinary creation that combines the texture and taste of a waffle with the ingredients commonly found in a cheese omelet. The term "chaffle" is a portmanteau of "cheese" and "waffle," aptly describing this low-carb, keto-friendly dish. It's an egg bun.
- Lettuce Wraps: For a low-carb option, wrap your burger in crisp lettuce leaves.
- Portobello Mushrooms: Grilled mushroom caps offer a hearty, flavorful substitute for buns.
Conclusion
The carnivore burger is a celebration of meat in its purest form. By focusing on high-quality ingredients, perfect seasoning, and creative cooking techniques, you can create a burger that satisfies even the most ardent meat lover's cravings. Whether you're enjoying it as a simple patty or experimenting with delicious variations, the carnivore burger is sure to become a staple in your culinary repertoire.
