1/4 cup butter divided
8 chaffles
1 teaspoon salt

Instructions

Portion the ground beef into 4 balls and flatten them slightly.
Heat a stainless steel or cast iron skillet until hot but not smoking. Add a drop of oil to the pan if needed.
Add the ground beef disk and flatten it with a flipper or spatula. Season it with salt and pepper. Flip when it is dark brown - but not burned - and season the other side.
Butter two warm chaffles with 1/2 tbsp of butter and add a 1/2 tbsp of butter to the top of the burger patty. Repeat for the other burgers.

Notes

Recipe Card Tips

Squish the beef flat in the hot pan for a real, dark brown sear, that's where a lot of the flavor comes from.
Resist adding spices or fillers to the beef, the simplicity is genuinely what makes this work.
Top with a pat of butter right when it comes off the heat, for maximum juiciness.

Please note: The nutritional value of the chaffles is not included in this recipe because it will vary on what kind you use or if you use another kind of keto bread or bun.
