Keto Beans, Greens & Balsamic Burger

What makes this burger special?
Jump to Recipe

When people think of balsamic vinegar, they often think of putting it on mozzarella or salads. But I enjoy balsamic vinegar so much, I had to build this Keto Beans, Greens & Balsamic Burger BurgerFit recipe with it. Once you try it, you won’t second guess putting it in a burger again!

Why eat the Keto Beans, Greens & Balsamic Burger?

As a time-saver, stock your freezer with frozen vegetables so you always have them on hand when you’re in a pinch. Most vegetables you find in the freezer section have been flash frozen, sealing in all of the vitamins and nutrients found in fresh vegetables. Greens are a good source of iron and folate. The iron found in the collard greens of this burger is different from the iron found in meat. Pair plant-based iron, such as the collard greens in this burger, with citrus for better absorption. It’s also good to note that if collard greens are not available in your grocery store, you can substitute other greens, such as Swiss chard, kale, or spinach in this recipe.

This recipe also follows many dietary lifestyles including ketogluten-freedairy-freewhole30paleoAIP, and it has low WW points!

Ingredients

Instructions

  • Heat a skillet on medium heat with 1 tablespoon cooking fat. Remove stems and rough chop the collard greens. Sauté the greens and green beans with ½ teaspoon salt and 1 teaspoon of balsamic vinegar until soft, about 5 minutes.
  • Once the greens and green beans are cooked, add the greens, green beans, and garlic to the food processor (or finely chop). Let the mixture cool completely. 
  • In a large bowl, add the ground meat, remaining 1 teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar. Gradually incorporate vegetable mixture into the ground meat. Add as much as you can while still being able to form your burgers as normal.
    *If you end up adding too much vegetable mixture, don’t worry! Just form your burgers and cook in the oven for 20 minutes at 350 degrees.
  • Cook burgers on medium heat on the stove for 3-5 minutes each side or to your preference. Cooking times can vary.
  • Optional: Serve with a side of green beans over collard greens and top with SunGarden Sprouts!

    This recipe is perfect for what I have in mind to cook for the weekend. But I’m just wondering if I can substitute the green beans with Pinto beans? I have so much cans in the pantry and I hate to see them go to waste.

    • Hi Sweet, thank you for your review. Yes, you can try this recipe with Pinto beans just like how we recommend other greens such as Swiss chard, kale, or spinach as substitute to collard greens.
