What is your favorite seasoning? Combine meat with Mexican, Cajun, Italian or Thai seasoning blends, I’ve never met a spice mix that doesn’t taste good in a burger patty.
If you have leftover leafy greens like spinach, kale and Swiss chard or fresh herbs like parsley and cilantro, add a handful of finely chopped material into the meat mixture before cooking.

Beef heart is a powerhouse of nutrition.
It’s great for anyone on a keto diet or carnivore diet.
I’ve grown quite comfortable with cooking beef heart. I almost always buy it ground. It is so easy to replace a portion of ground beef (turkey, chicken, lamb, bison etc) of any recipe with ground beef heart.
Easy Keto Burgers with Pan Sauce!
This is new territory for me. I’m quite intrigued by the concept of pan sauces. They are very easy and timely to make. I’ve taken the idea of pan sauce applied it to this recipe here.
Essentially, you make a light brothy sauce by adding a small amount of bone broth the meat drippings and butter from cooking the onion. If you want to experiment with thickening the liquid, add a pinch of grass-fed beef gelatin and let it sit for 5 to 7 minutes. This would make it more like a gravy. I haven’t tried it out yet but considered doing it when I made the original recipe. If you do this, let me know how it works out in the comments below.
