This ingenious creation replaces traditional high-carb bread with a low-carb, cheese-based waffle, making it an ideal choice for those following a ketogenic diet.

How To Make:
Begin by preheating your Dash Mini Waffle Maker until it reaches the desired temperature.
In a small mixing bowl, combine the eggs, garlic powder, and shredded cheddar cheese, blending them together until well incorporated.
Once the waffle maker is adequately warmed, pour half of the batter onto the waffle plates and close the lid. Allow the mixture to cook for approximately 4 minutes or until it turns a delicious golden brown hue.
Repeat the process with the remaining batter to create a total of three Chaffle buns, ensuring each is cooked to perfection.
Cooking Keto Burger Patties:
Heat a frying pan over medium heat until it reaches an optimal temperature.
Season the ground beef with salt and pepper according to your taste preferences, then shape the meat into two evenly-sized patties.
Place the seasoned patties onto the heated frying pan and cook for approximately 3 minutes on each side, adjusting the cooking time as needed to achieve your desired level of doneness.
Once the patties are cooked to satisfaction, top each one with a slice of American cheese and carefully remove them from the heat.
Preparing Keto Chaffle Burger Sauce:
In a small mixing bowl, combine the relish, mayonnaise, paprika, mustard, onion powder, garlic powder, and vinegar, stirring until all ingredients are thoroughly blended.
Continue mixing until the sauce achieves a smooth and consistent texture, ensuring that all flavors are evenly distributed.
Assembling the Keto Chaffle Burger:
Take two of the prepared Chaffle buns and generously spread the prepared sauce over each one.
Layer each Chaffle bun with crisp iceberg lettuce, finely minced onions, tangy dill pickle slices, and a savory cooked burger patty.
Complete the assembly by topping each burger with the remaining Chaffle bun and, if desired, sprinkle sesame seeds over the top for an added touch of flavor and visual appeal.
