Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 lb 680 g ground beef (85/15)
  • 2 cups shredded green cabbage ≈150 g — squeezed dry
  • ¾ cup shredded cheddar ≈85 g
  • ¼ cup almond flour ≈28 g — optional binder
  • 2 large eggs beaten
  • 1 small onion very finely diced (≈40 g)
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • ½ tsp salt ½ tsp black pepper
  • 1 tbsp olive oil for brushing
  • Optional: 1–2 tbsp chopped parsley 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce to taste

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment or a silicone mat.
  2. Shred cabbage finely and squeeze out excess water using a towel or paper towels. Excess moisture = soggy patties.
  3. In a large bowl combine ground beef, squeezed cabbage, shredded cheddar, almond flour, beaten eggs, diced onion, minced garlic, smoked paprika, Dijon, salt and pepper. Gently fold until just combined.
  4. Divide mixture into 6 equal portions (~120 g each). Form into patties about ¾–1 inch thick, pressing a slight dimple in the center of each.
  5. Place patties on prepared sheet pan and brush tops lightly with olive oil.
  6. Bake 18–22 minutes until internal temp reaches 160°F (71°C) and tops are golden. For extra color, broil 1–2 minutes at the end, watching carefully.
  7. Rest 5 minutes on a cooling rack. Serve on low-carb buns or lettuce wraps with desired toppings.
