Transitioning to a paleo or whole 30 diet can be quite difficult, especially when you have to avoid dairy, grains, sugar, and salt. The question is, how can one prepare a filling, hearty meal without all of those tasty carbs?

These portobello mushroom burgers do exactly that. They’re high in protein and will satisfy your cravings all in one.

Also, my husband just happened to go crazy over these. Who said eating healthy has to be limited to salads only?! Although, my blackened chicken avocado salad from last week was also pretty amazing! Get the recipe here.

Hamburger Bun Replacement

For this recipe, instead of using hamburger buns, I use large and juicy portobello mushrooms. They add a mouthful of satisfying goodness, and they’re the perfect size to replace an actual bun!

No bread, no carbs, no gluten.

Low Carb and Keto Portobello Mushrooms

Portobello mushrooms are naturally low in carbs and a great alternative to bread when one aims to lose weight. 

Health benefits of portobello mushrooms include:

  • Contains Selenium which is known to prevent cancer
  • High in potassium and lowers blood pressure
  • Provides fibre on a low carb diet
  • Anti-aging and combats inflammation
  • Contains antioxidants to boost immunity
  • Contains riboflavin (vitamin B2) which will kick your body into ketosis by breaking down carbs, sugars and fats to produce energy, in turn, burning fat.

How to Make Homemade Burgers

And did I mention these are made with homemade burgers? Even more juicy goodness!

I use extra lean ground beef and I also recommend using ground turkey because turkey burgers are just as delicious. It’s also much more lean than beef.

Most homemade burger recipes call for breadcrumbs, to bind the beef together. You can easily substitute breadcrumbs by using almond flour instead. It helps add the right amount of crunchiness to your burgers!

Some people also enjoy adding ketchup to their burger mixture. If you do, try using a sugar free ketchup or just skip it.

Homemade Burger Recipe

  1. In a large bowl, using your hands, mix the ground beef, salt, pepper, garlic powder, red pepper flakes (optional), paprika, olive oil, egg, and almond flour.
  2. Form 1/2 inch thick burger patties.
  3. Press a whole halfway through the centre of each patty with your thumb, this will help the burgers stay flat when cooking.
  4. Cook or grill burgers 5-6 minutes per side or until browned to your liking.

Healthy Portobello Mushroom Burgers

When avoiding heavy carbs like bread, you’ll notice a difference right away–how you feel, how you look, and ultimately having more energy and confidence. Don’t be fooled by the meat in this recipe because it’s packed full of protein to fuel your body.

Just remember to eliminate the dairy (no cheddar cheese for topping), skip the ketchup (mustard is a great paleo alternative), and make sure the bacon has no added sugar or salt.

Enjoy these juicy, mouth watering homemade burgers that are layered on top of portobello mushrooms. They are the ultimate paleo lunch or dinner this summer that everyone will love.

Portobello Mushroom Bacon Burgers (Gluten-Free, Paleo, Whole 30)

Course Dinner, Lunch
Cuisine gluten free, paleo, Whole 30
Cook Time 35 minutes
Total Time 35 minutes
Servings 4
Calories 410kcal

Ingredients

Portobello Mushroom Bun Replacement

  • 8 portobello mushrooms
  • 1/4 cup olive oil

Homemade Burgers

  • 1 lb lean ground beef
  • pinch of sea salt optional
  • pinch of black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes optional
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 egg
  • 1/4 cup almond flour

Toppings of Choice

  • 4-6 slices bacon

Instructions

  • Wash and cut the stems off of the portobello mushrooms. Heat a frying pan with olive oil over medium and fry mushrooms covered for 3-5 minutes per side or until soft and tender. Remove and set aside.
  • Cook bacon to desired crispiness. Remove and wrap in paper towels to absorb grease.
  • In a large mixing bowl combine ground beef, sea salt, pepper, garlic powder, pepper flakes, paprika, olive oil, egg, and almond flour. With clean hands, knead the mixture until well combined. Shape the mixture into 1/2 inch thick patties, or thinner, poking a whole halfway through the middle using your thumb (this will help keep the burgers flat when cooking).
  • Cook burgers 5-6 minutes per side or until browned through. Let stand for just under 5 minutes and place between portobello mushrooms. Top burgers with the bacon, red onion, tomato, romaine lettuce, sautéed jalapeños, and mustard. Toppings are all optional. Serve with a balsamic salad or vegetables of choice and enjoy!

    Any ideas for a bread crumb substitute that’s also nut-free? I have a tree nut-allergic family member and have to avoid the nut flours, too.

      That is a tough one because almond flour is the base for most paleo or whole 30 breads. I would try to use pork rinds or flax seed meal. Let me know how it works out for you!

Life lately 🤍 It seems as though the years have Life lately 🤍 It seems as though the years have gone by and the girls have changed so much, so very different in their own unique way, growing and blossoming faster than ever. All I had to do was blink and all of a sudden I have a 9 year old wiser than her years, an 8 year old who says it like it is, and an almost 2 year old who doesn’t miss a beat. 

“Let me love you a little more before you’re not little anymore.” This couldn’t be a more truer feeling for us moms raising older children.

I will never stop loving you. A mother gives and gives, loves and loves with no cap, no end, no limit. When life gets tough, always know that I will forever be here for you, loving you and supporting you every step of the way.

Cold and flu season is here! Here are 5 Reasons Wh Cold and flu season is here! Here are 5 Reasons Why You Need a Honeywell True HEPA Air Purifier in Your Home 💨

1. Indoor air can be more polluted than outdoor air with allergens trapped inside. Using an air purifier can help ensure the air inside our homes is fresher and cleaner!

2. It helps reduce airborne allergens like dust mite debris in the bedroom and pet dander. This can help reduce a variety of symptoms you may be having.

3. Helps reduce odours (mom win for any lingering dirty diapers sitting in the trash) keeping air smelling fresher.

4. Set the timer and forget it! This is my favourite feature because I’m just so busy and would forget to shut it off when not needed.

5. Cleaner air, feel better, live better, sleep better. Need I say more?!
