Cheeseburger Zoodle Skillet Recipe

Ingredients

For the Skillet

* 1 pound lean ground beef

* 4 medium zucchini, spiralized into zoodles

* 1 tablespoon avocado oil

* ½ medium onion, diced

* 2 cloves garlic, minced

* 1 teaspoon onion powder

* 1 teaspoon garlic powder

* 1 teaspoon smoked paprika

* Salt and black pepper to taste

For the Cheeseburger Sauce

* 2 ounces cream cheese, softened

* ½ cup heavy cream

* 1 tablespoon yellow mustard

* 1 tablespoon sugar-free ketchup

* ½ teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

* 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese

Toppings

* ¼ cup chopped dill pickles

* 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

* Extra shredded cheddar cheese (optional)

* Sesame seeds for garnish (optional)

Instructions

Step 1

Heat the avocado oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Add the diced onion and cook for about 3 minutes until softened.

Stir in the garlic and cook for another 30 seconds.

Step 2

Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it into crumbles as it cooks.

Drain excess grease if necessary.

Season with onion powder, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.

Step 3

Reduce the heat to medium.

Stir in the cream cheese, heavy cream, mustard, ketchup, and Worcestershire sauce.

Mix until smooth and creamy.

Add the shredded cheddar cheese and stir until melted.

Step 4

Add the zucchini noodles.

Cook for only 2 to 3 minutes, gently tossing until coated in the cheeseburger sauce.

Avoid overcooking the zoodles to keep them from becoming watery.

Step 5

Remove from heat.

Top with chopped dill pickles, parsley, and additional cheddar cheese if desired.

Serve immediately.

Serving Suggestions

Pair this Cheeseburger Zoodle Skillet with:

* A crisp green salad

* Homemade keto bread

* Dill pickle spears

* Steamed broccoli

* Roasted cauliflower

Tips for Success

* Pat the zucchini noodles dry before cooking.

* Freshly shredded cheddar melts more smoothly than pre-shredded cheese.

* Use an 85/15 ground beef blend for the best flavor.

* Add crispy bacon for a bacon cheeseburger variation.

* Sprinkle with chopped tomatoes or sliced green onions before serving.

Storage

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Reheat gently in a skillet over low heat or in the microwave. Because zucchini naturally releases moisture, you may notice a little extra liquid after refrigeration.
