Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Ground beef (grass-fed)
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 0.5 tsp Garlic powder
- 0.5 tsp Onion powder
- 2 tbsp Coconut oil
- 4 pieces Romaine lettuce leaves
- 1 medium Tomato, sliced
- 0.5 small Red onion, sliced
- 4 slices Pickles, sliced
- 0.5 cup Cashew cheese sauce
- 2 units Large eggs
- 2 cups Almond flour
- 1 tsp Baking powder
- 0.5 cup Coconut milk
Instructions
In a small bowl, combine salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Season the ground beef with this spice mix and gently form into four 1/4 pound patties.
Heat 1 tablespoon of coconut oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook patties for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until desired doneness is reached. Remove from skillet and let them rest.
For the paleo burger buns, preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a bowl, whisk together the eggs and coconut milk. Add almond flour and baking powder. Mix until a thick batter forms.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place four spoonfuls of the batter onto the sheet to form the buns.
Bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown. Let them cool to room temperature.
Assemble the burgers by placing lettuce leaves on the serving dish. Follow with the baked bun as the base.
Layer with beef patty, cashew cheese sauce, tomato slices, red onion slices, and pickles.
Top with another bun half or add more lettuce leaves instead for a fully paleo experience.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Paleo Classic Beef Cheeseburger!
