Bacon, Bacon and More Bacon

This page is dedicated to the best “Keto Bacon and Egg Cups” recipe on the Internet. But before we tell you the delicious secrets about this recipe, let’s step back for a minute.

You may not believe me, but there are a huge amount of yummy benefits to being on a ketogenic diet. And one of those benefits is eating lots of sweet, sweet bacon. We’ve heard about bacon “dangers”, as it can cause high cholesterol, but no one ever seems to mention the benefits.

For example, did you know that bacon actually contains omega-3 fatty acids, which are the same nutrients found in fish? And it’s these particular fatty acids that actually help protect the heart and keep it functioning correctly. Bacon also contains a lot of a nutrient called choline. This nutrient is particularly important for memory and intelligence and scientists have even found it can help fight off mental impairments such as Alzheimer’s disease. Amazing, right?

So, now we’ve discovered the benefits of bacon, let’s move on to the recipe.

Recipe Benefits

What you should know about this delicious recipe, is that it’s full of the all-important protein keto dieters need. This is not only due to the lack of sugary carbohydrates, but because it’s main ingredients are bacon (you guessed it!), eggs and cheese. And just to let you know, it’s pretty much impossible to find three ingredients that contain as much protein as these. So, for anyone trying to get their fat intake up, whilst keeping their other macros down, these little cups are perfect.

We recommend eating these for breakfast, as they’re very quick to make. For example, there’s only four steps to the entire recipe, whilst our last step is just a top tip to learn how to cook the eggs exactly as you like them. They’re also perfect as a protein filled snack if you’re having a particularly ravenous morning or evening.

Even though they take 25 minutes to prepare, twenty minutes of that is actually cooking time! Result! If you’re always in a bit of a rush, though, feel free to cook these in bulk and freeze them. It will save you so much time, that you can then spend on more important activities, such as caring for your kids or having extra leisure time! Be careful if you wish to recook these, however. Make sure they have fully defrosted and are piping hot when taking them out of the oven. You can test the temperature with a kitchen utensil and don’t burn yourself by eating them right away.

Nutritional Information

Now for the stats. These keto bacon and egg cups have 210 calories per cup, and you’re getting 15 grams of protein, and 16 grams of fat. Even better, they only contain zero carbs, which is just incredible for keto! It also makes them perfect for anyone who has dietary intolerances and is, for example, gluten-free.

So, what are you waiting for! All you need is five minutes of your time to prepare this dish and then you can have a tasty, ketogenic snack, breakfast or brunch any time you want. Wonderful? We think so too.

Meat Lovers Rejoice!

Hamburgers have to be one of America’s greatest discoveries! And this recipe, the best bacon wrapped cheese stuffed hamburgers recipe around, takes the simple burger to the next level. Simply described, they are a mixture of ground beef, bacon and cheese, bound together in a ball of keto deliciousness! And what’s even better, is you can enjoy them whilst being on a ketogenic diet. If you like, you can wrap them up in a nice piece of lettuce, or, if you can’t wait, just tuck right in with a knife and fork!

Recipe Information

Regarding ingredients, this recipe is very simple. You only need four, which are minced beef, cheddar cheese, bacon and seasoning. We like to just use salt and pepper, but feel free to add anything you like, such as Italian herbs or cayenne pepper for a bit of spice. Also, the greatest thing about these ingredients is you’ll probably already have some to hand and if you don’t, they’re some of the easiest things to find in your local store.

These tasty patties take around 10 minutes to prepare and 25-30 mins to cook, which is great. If you like really crispy bacon, leave them in the oven until they cook to your required taste. Honestly, though, once they looked cooked, it’s hard to resist taking them out of the oven and serving them on a plate!

Nutritional Information

Ok, you’re going to have to hear me out on this one. The calories in each burger are borderline ridiculous. Because if you follow this recipe exactly, you are looking at nearly 900 calories. Not great if you’re following a calorie-controlled diet. But our website is dedicated to those following a low carbohydrate and high protein diet, specifically keto or Atkins. So, in that case, these are perfect.

You are getting are not only getting 75g of fat but a HUGE 61g of protein! I genuinely don’t think I can think of a recipe that contains that must protein. That amount of protein could keep you going for hours and hours and hours and … you get the point! And with just 2g of carbs, these really are the ultimate keto dinner.

One little thing though, do try not to eat these every day! Maybe save them as a monthly treat for when you’re almost losing yourself to cravings and are in need of ultimate junk food. Saying that though, you can easily cut down the calories by using a little less bacon, much leaner beef (such as 5% fat, we used 15% fat) and a little less cheese. Please don’t be tempted to reach for “light” cheese though. These types of cheeses have basically no nutritional value and the amount of protein you consume will go right down.
