US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • Warm the butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Lightly brown the ground beef and onion.
    1 tablespoon butter, 1 pound ground beef, ½ cup onion
  • Stir in the bone broth, cream cheese, tomato paste, mustard, garlic powder, and salt until sauce forms. Bring to a simmer; maintain for 2 minutes until the liquid reduces slightly.
    ½ cup bone broth, 2 ounces cream cheese, 1 tablespoon tomato paste, 1 teaspoon mustard, ½ teaspoon garlic powder, ½ teaspoon salt
  • Reduce the heat to low. Sprinkle shredded cheese evenly over the meat. Cover the skillet with a lid and continue to cook for a few minutes until cheese melts completely.
    1 cup cheddar cheese
  • Serve warm as is or with optional toppings and flatbread.

Notes

  • Cook the ground beef just until it’s no longer pink. Overcooking can make the beef tough and dry.
  • If your beef is particularly fatty, drain off some grease before adding other ingredients to prevent the dish from becoming overly greasy.
  • To get that perfectly gooey and melted cheese topping, add the cheese in small portions, allowing each bit to melt fully before adding more.
  • Mix in a bit of hot sauce or add sliced jalapeños, chili powder, cayenne pepper, or crushed red pepper flakes to add heat.
  • Aside from pickles, tomatoes, and lettuce, you can add other toppings like crispy bacon bits, a sprinkle of green onions, or a drizzle of sugar-free ketchup for that classic cheeseburger taste.
Serve: Serve with your favorite burger sides like French fries, onion rings, sautéed vegetables, or your choice of bread.
Store: Transfer leftovers in an airtight container and store in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or in the freezer for up to 1 month. Reheat in a skillet over medium heat for 5 minutes, stirring constantly or in the oven 350 F for 15-20 minutes.
