Instructions

1. Grease a large pan with ghee.
2. Once hot, add sliced onion and cook over a medium-high heat for 5 minutes or until lightly browned.
3. Add sliced bell peppers and cook for another 5 minutes.
4. Add sliced mushrooms and cook for 3-5 minutes.
5. Take off the heat.
6. Use your hands to divide the ground beef into 5 parts (200 grams or 7.1 ounces each).
7. Flatten each part using your hands.
8. Then take a glass and place in the middle of the burger to create a well.
9. Fold the meat up round the glass to create a bowl shape.
10. Wrap 2 slices of bacon round the "meat bowl".
11. Then, remove the glass carefully by gently twisting and pulling it up.
12. Fill each "meat bowl" with the onion-pepper-mushroom mixture and a teaspoon of Sriracha and Dijon mustard.
13. Finally, top with 1/4 cup of grated cheese.
14. Repeat for the remaining burgers.
15. Place in the oven and bake at 150 °C/ 300 °F for 45-60 minutes (until the meat thermometer registers 75 °C/ 165 °F).
16. When done, remove from the oven and let the burgers rest for 5 minutes.
17. Serve with crispy greens or other low-carb veggies.
