KETO RESTART DAY 11

Ingredients

• 2 large White Onion (peeled; sliced into rings; middle core removed)
• 1 pound Thick‑Cut Bacon (cut lengthwise into thin strips for wrapping)
• 1.5 pounds Ground Beef (80/20 lean; formed into 4 equal patties)
• 8 ounces Cheddar Cheese (shredded by hand)
• 1 teaspoon Pink Himalayan Salt (for seasoning onion rings and burgers)
• ½ teaspoon Black Pepper (freshly ground)
• 4 tablespoons Alterna Sweets Ketchup (sugar‑free ketchup; use classic or spicy as preferred)

Instructions

1. Slice Onions

   Peel the onions and slice them into wide rings. Remove the very small inner ring from each slice so you have a hollow center for the bacon to wrap around.

   Time: PT10M

2. Cut Bacon Lengthwise

   Take the thick‑cut bacon and slice each strip lengthwise into two thin strips. This creates skinny bacon pieces that will wrap the onion rings without overwhelming them.

   Time: PT5M

3. Wrap Onion Rings with Bacon

   Take a bacon strip and wrap it tightly around each onion ring, starting at the larger outer ring and working inward. Secure the ends by tucking them under the ring.

   Time: PT15M

4. Preheat Air Fryer

   Set the air fryer to 380°F (193°C) and let it preheat for about 5 minutes.

   Time: PT5M

   Temperature: 380°F

5. Air Fry Bacon‑Wrapped Onion Rings

   Arrange the wrapped onion rings in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Cook for 8‑10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the bacon is crisp and the onion is tender.

   Time: PT10M

   Temperature: 380°F

6. Form and Season Burger Patties

   Divide the ground beef into four equal portions and shape each into a patty about ¾‑inch thick. Season both sides with pink Himalayan salt and black pepper.

   Time: PT10M

7. Preheat Grill

   Heat the grill (or grill pan) to medium‑high, about 400°F (204°C).

   Time: PT5M

   Temperature: 400°F

8. Grill Cheeseburgers

   Place the patties on the hot grill. Cook for 8 minutes on the first side, then flip and cook another 8 minutes, or until internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C). During the last minute, top each patty with shredded cheddar and close the lid to melt the cheese.

   Time: PT16M

   Temperature: 400°F

9. Shred Cheese

   While the burgers finish cooking, shred the cheddar cheese by hand using a grater.

   Time: PT2M

10. Plate and Serve

    Arrange the burgers on plates, add a dollop of Alterna Sweets ketchup (classic or spicy) on top, and serve the crispy bacon‑wrapped onion rings on the side.

    Time: PT2M
