Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound grass-fed ground beef
- 0.5 cup paleo cheese substitute (like cashew cheese) or nutritional yeast
- 4 strips bacon (sugar-free)
- 1 unit large egg
- 0.25 cup almond flour
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 large leaves lettuce leaves
- 1 large tomato
- 1 large avocado
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crispy. Remove from the skillet and let it drain on paper towels.
In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, paleo cheese substitute, egg, almond flour, onion powder, garlic powder, sea salt, and black pepper. Mix well using your hands until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.
Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape each portion into a patty.
Place the patties on the preheated grill. Grill for about 5-6 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness.
While the burgers are grilling, slice the tomato and avocado.
To assemble the burgers, place a lettuce leaf on a plate, followed by a grilled burger patty.
Top each patty with a slice of tomato, avocado slices, and crumbled or whole bacon strips.
Serve immediately, either wrapped in additional lettuce leaves or on a paleo-compliant bun.
