Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound grass-fed ground beef
- 2 tablespoons coconut aminos
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 8 ounces crimini mushrooms
- 2 tablespoons ghee
- 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
- 4 slices paleo-friendly Swiss cheese
- 4 pieces lettuce leaves
- 1 large avocado
- 1 large tomato
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, coconut aminos, garlic powder, sea salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly to combine.
Divide the beef mixture into 4 equal portions and form each into a patty approximately 3/4-inch thick.
Clean and slice the crimini mushrooms into thin, even pieces.
Heat 1 tablespoon of ghee in a skillet over medium heat. Add the mushrooms and sprinkle with onion powder, cooking until they are tender and golden brown, about 5-7 minutes. Remove mushrooms from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of ghee over medium heat. Place the beef patties in the skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side, until a crust forms.
Flip the patties, then place a slice of Swiss cheese on each patty. Cover the skillet with a lid to allow the cheese to melt, cooking for another 4-5 minutes, until the desired doneness is reached.
While the burgers are cooking, prepare the toppings. Slice the avocado and tomato into thin slices.
Once the burgers are finished cooking, assemble the burgers by placing each patty on a large lettuce leaf. Top with sautéed mushrooms, avocado slices, and tomato slices. Optionally, add a second lettuce leaf to wrap the burger more securely.
Serve immediately and enjoy your paleo-friendly Mushroom Swiss Hamburger!
