Attention, keto burger fans!
Love bacon, burgers, and avocados? You’re gonna want to head outside and fire up that BBQ grill to make these delicious low-carb and keto avocado-stuffed, bacon-wrapped burger bombs! It’s basically any low carb loving person’s dream meal, and it’s such a unique spin on the typical cheeseburger.
These burger bombs are actually pretty simple and fun to make.
The basic idea is to stuff a whole (pitted) avocado with cheese, then wrap it with ground beef and bacon, and grill it to perfection. The result is a melted cheesy meaty burger bomb sure to satisfy your keto appetite. We added chopped onions and jalapenos to our ground beef to spice things up!
Hip Tips:
- Use any type of shredded cheese, any desired keto-friendly seasonings, and add-ins.
- Try using softer cheeses, aged cheeses don’t melt enough. I also found that using a large chunk of cheese doesn’t melt as nice as shredded will.
- Choose a thinner cut of bacon, so it gets crispy and fully cooks easily.
- Choose a small/medium avocado, or maybe just wrap half of one if using large avocados.
- Use a meat thermometer to read the temperature of meat if possible. 160 degrees internal temperature is cooked to medium.
- Take this meal to grill while camping!

Can’t wait to try these!
Hope you enjoy them, Deb!
Hi, I want to try these for dinner tonight, what would be your recommended baking instructions since I cannot use a grill? Thanks
Hi Becca! You can bake these at 400 degrees and then follow the same instructions. Use a meat thermometer to read the temperature of meat if possible. 160 degrees internal temperature is cooked to medium. Enjoy!
