Bison Burger Cabbage Stacks – The Ultimate Gluten-Free, Keto Burger Upgrade!

If you think a great burger needs a bun, think again. These Bison Burger Cabbage Stacks are proof that you can go big on flavor without the carbs. Stacked high with juicy bison patties, melty cheese, caramelized onion relish, and a golden fried egg, all sitting atop a charred, balsamic-kissed cabbage slice, this burger alternative is not just keto-friendly—it’s next-level delicious.

Why Bison Over Beef?

Bison isn’t just a leaner, healthier alternative to beef—it’s also richer in flavor and packed with nutrients.

Compared to regular beef, bison has:

✅ More protein per ounce – Perfect for muscle-building and staying full longer.

✅ Less fat and fewer calories – Making it a great choice for keto and low-carb diets.

✅ Higher omega-3 content – Thanks to bison being grass-fed and naturally lean.

✅ A richer, slightly sweet flavor – If you haven’t tried bison yet, this is the perfect way to experience its superior taste!

Now, let’s stack these beauties up!

Top cabbage slices with avocado oil, Worcestershire sauce, sliced onion, & balsamic vinegar. Bake for 15 minutes.

Next layers: Tzatziki, bison burger, American cheese slice, another burger. Bake ~10 minutes.

Finish with caramelized onion jam, crumbled goat cheese, a fried egg, and a drizzle of sriracha.
