My husband and I are the boys dorm parents at a school in Western Montana. We have 7 Native American boys who live in our dorm (and love to eat). Seriously, have you seen how much teenage boys can eat?

We sometimes eat in the dining hall with them, and last Thursday they served these beautiful little creations called “Cheeseburger Buns.” Basically, it was ground beef with hamburger toppings and cheese wrapped up in a roll. They looked so good, but I resisted!

I told my husband I was quite sure I could re-create a healthy version of those at home. So this last week, I accomplished that task!

These are SO delicious! My husband and I both loved them. I re-heated one today (in the microwave) for lunch, and it was still wonderful. (Though I think it would have re-heated better in the oven.)

The dough for these uses my spin on the famous Fathead dough. I like to replace some of the almond flour with the Trim Healthy Mama Baking Blend. This reduces the calories greatly! But if you do not have the Baking Blend, you can use all almond flour.

This recipe makes six cheeseburger buns, enough for a family of two or three for dinner. If you have a larger family, you may want to double the recipe. If you have leftover meat, you can use it in my Cheeseburger Salad recipe!

So, what do you need for these Cheeseburger Buns?

For the Dough

2 1/4 Cups Shredded Mozzarella Cheese

3 Tablespoons Cream Cheese

1 Egg

1 Cup Trim Healthy Mama Baking Blend

1/2 Cup Almond Flour

For the Filling

1 Pound Ground Beef or Venison

1/4 Cup Sugar Free Ketchup

2 Tablespoons Yellow Mustard

1/2 Cup Chopped Pickles

3/4 Cup Shredded Cheddar Cheese

Garlic Salt
