I have turned my life around with a low-carb and keto diet. This recipe is a wonderful new way to make burgers with all the same favorite flavors that I'm used to. Since the meat and toppings can be changed, the possibilities are endless and I never get tired of making these burgers. —Fay A. Moreland, Wichita Falls, Texas
