Recipe: Ultimate Paleo Whopper

Paleo Whopper...




Ultimate Paleo Whopper (2 burgers)
16 oz ground beef 85-15 Grassfed
Almond flour
Sweet Onion
garlic
garlic powder
salt/pepper
Boston leaf lettuce (4)
Bacon
Apple cider vinegar

Just as a preface, i'm horrible with measurements so bare with me!! Also a second note is that I love garlic in large amounts..and I realize not everyone is in love with it like I am, so just remember if you decide to recreate it choose your garlic amount wisely :)

Started off by mincing 1/4 of a small-medium sized sweet yellow onion. I also minced about 2-3..okay maybe 4 cloves of garlic (I know.. I know.. but I'll never have problems with vampires) Add both the minced onion and garlic to the beef and incorporate well. I added maybe a cap full of apple cider vinegar, some almond flour (just enough to hold everything together) ..I'll take a wild guess and say about 1/8 - 1/4 cup almond flour. Don't for get some salt and pepper to taste! Then I split the meat in half and shape my patties. These come out pretty thick!! You could easily make 3 burgers out of this amount..so either huge portion for two people or some good leftovers. Before sticking them on the grill I added some garlic powder and a little salt/pepper on top so that when you put them on the grill they will have a great crust and lock in all the juices!

Once  at a perfect rare-medium-rare they were pulled off the grill and ready for building!! You can get creative for what you like on your burgers. I put bacon, zesty paleo ranch, paleo onion rings, and tomato! I used Boston leaf lettuce in place of buns which were perfect to hold up to this juicy mess of a master piece!! And with a side of paleo coleslaw this meal was nothing less than epic. Enjoy!!
