Low FODMAP Beef Burgers
A great burger shouldn't feel like a compromise, and this one absolutely doesn't. The patties are built on 80/20 ground beef for maximum juiciness, seasoned with garlic-infused oil — which delivers all that savory depth without the fructans that make regular garlic a problem — plus scallion greens, Dijon mustard, and Worcestershire for a seriously well-rounded bite. Each patty gets a thumb dimple pressed into the center before hitting a screaming-hot grill, which means you get that deeply browned crust and a flat, even cook every time. Gluten-free buns get toasted cut-side down in the last few minutes so nothing goes soggy, and the toppings — butter lettuce, a tomato slice, optional aged cheddar, and a swipe of mayo — keep things classic and completely on-plan. Portion sizes here are thoughtfully dialed in, from the scallion greens (tops only) to the single tomato divided across four servings, so you're not guessing at thresholds. This makes four satisfying burgers, which means it's just as good for a weeknight dinner as it is for a backyard cookout where you'd rather not explain your dietary needs to anyone.

4 servings
For the patties
- 1 ½ lb ground beef (80/20)
- 2 tbsp garlic-infused oil
- 3 scallions, green tops only, thinly sliced
Ingredient noteThe green parts of scallions are low in FODMAPs. Avoid the white bulb which is higher in FODMAPs.
- 1 tsp dijon mustard
- 1 tsp worcestershire sauce
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
For serving
- 4 gluten free burger buns
- 4 leaves butter lettuce
- 1 medium tomato, sliced into 4 rounds
Ingredient noteA serving of up to about 1/2 of a tomato is low in FODMAPs. This recipe contains only about 1/4 of a tomato per serving, making it likely Low FODMAP. If you prefer to always avoid tomato, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
- 4 slices cheddar cheese (optional)
- 2 tbsp mayonnaise (optional)
