Okay, so I am back on the program and actually going to post recipes that are new for me to use again and again and again... especially this one.
Ingredients:
1lb of ground beef 1 avocado
1 tsp garlic powder 1 clove of garlic
1 tsp salt 1 Tbsp of lemon juice
1 tsp black pepper 3 Tbsp of water
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp paprika
1 egg
1 Red bell pepper
Butter Lettuce
Basil Leaves
4 strips of bacon
Process
1. Avocado cream. Put everything in a food processor and blend until smooth.
2. Bacon. Cook bacon as you usually would. Either oven or on the stove.
3. Roasted Bell Peppers. Slice the bell pepper into relatively flat pieces. Broil for 15 minutes then immediately place the peppers into a brown bag or covered bowl to trap in the steam. This makes the skins easier to peel off. Once cooled, the skins will peel off by hand or with tongs.
4. Burger Patty. Mix all the spices, the egg and the ground beef into a bowl and form two patties. I then used a Griddler to grill my burger on Medium high until desired level of doneness.
5. To Plate: Layer a few large pieces of butter lettuce on the plate. Then place the burger on the bed of lettuce. Top burger with the roasted peppers, basil, desired amount of avocado cream, and finish it off with the bacon.
I'm not going to lie..... this was DELICIOUS and really hit the spot for a good burger. The avocado cream did a nice job filling in for a mayonnaise or ketchup and I really didn't miss the bun at all. So good. Can't wait to make it again.
