Consumer Critique: Mikey's English Muffin (Paleo, GF, Keto, and Dairy Free)

Mikeys, provider of high-quality, nutritious frozen products that are made with simple and recognizable ingredients, knows that a true burger is not complete without being nestled between a warm toasted bun. I had a chance to review Mikey's Original, Grain-Free English Muffin, which has just 2 net carbs and 9 grams of protein.

The company was founded by Michael Tierney, who uses just eight ingredients to create this English Muffin. It is free of common allergens like gluten, grain, soy, and dairy, which means that it's suitable for nearly any dietary lifestyle. While it does taste different than a traditional hamburger bun, it has a great taste and texture that is pretty close to a standard English Muffin. Like many food substitutes, if you take it as it's own product, without comparing it to a "standard" version, it's quite delicious. Even though I don't follow a restrictive diet, I would buy this again.

 

Mikey’s Keto Burger with Mushrooms and Onion

 


 

Ingredients:

·        1-pound fresh ground beef

·        1 teaspoon garlic powder

·        1 teaspoon gluten-free steak seasoning

·        1 box Mikey’s Original Gluten-Free English Muffins

·        1 teaspoon chili powder

·        4 onion slices

·        2 portobello mushrooms, gills removed

·        1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil

·        Salt to taste

Instructions:

1.      Mix beef together with garlic powder and steak seasoning. Form into 4 patties.

2.      Brush any dirt off the mushrooms and remove stems and gills. Then cut in half.

3.      Heat grill to high heat.

4.      Brush the onion slices and mushroom slices lightly with olive oil.

5.      Sprinkle chili powder over the onions.

6.      Place the onions, mushrooms and burgers on the grill. Add a very light sprinkle of salt to each.

7.      Grill about 2-3 minutes until grill marks appear on burgers. 

8.      Flip onions, mushrooms and burgers and salt again, very lightly.

9.      Grill burgers an additional 2-3 minutes and then reduce heat to medium and grill 3-6 minutes more depending on desired doneness. Remove onions and mushrooms from direct heat when they’ve reached your desired level of doneness.

10.   Just before burgers are done cooking, brush Mikey’s English muffins lightly with oil on both sides. Grill on both sides until toasted.

11.   Assemble burgers with the onions, mushrooms and your favorite condiments.
