These Carnivore Whopper Patty Bites with Cheese are inspired by the classic Burger King Whopper, but with a focus on juicy beef patties and rich, melty cheese—all in a snackable, carnivore-friendly form. This quick recipe requires no buns or carbs, just delicious beef, cheese, and a few simple seasonings. Perfect for a fast snack or meal!
Ingredients:
- 5 beef patties (you can either buy pre-made patties or make your own using ground beef)
- 5 slices of cheddar cheese (or your cheese of choice, such as Swiss, American, or mozzarella)
- Salt (to taste)
- Pepper (optional, to taste)
- 1 tbsp butter (for cooking)
Instructions:
Step 1: Make or Prepare the Patties
If you’re making your own patties, divide about 1 lb of ground beef into 5 equal portions. Form them into patties that are about 1/2-inch thick. Season each patty generously with salt and a pinch of pepper. If you’re using pre-made patties, simply take them out of the packaging and season with salt and pepper.
Step 2: Cook the Patties
In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of butter over medium-high heat. Once the butter is melted and bubbling, add the patties to the skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until the patties are cooked through and have a nice crispy exterior. Depending on your preference for doneness, you can cook them longer, but 3-4 minutes per side will give you a juicy, medium-well patty.
Step 3: Add the Cheese
Once the patties are cooked to your liking, place a slice of cheddar cheese (or your preferred cheese) on top of each patty. Cover the skillet with a lid to help the cheese melt for about 1-2 minutes.
Step 4: Assemble the Carnivore Bites
Remove the patties from the skillet and allow the cheese to settle into the beef for a minute. These are now ready to eat! If you want to make them even more portable, you can stack two patties with cheese together and wrap them in parchment paper for an easy-to-grab snack.
