The Stuff You Need:
For each person:
1 four-ounce ground beef* patty
2 slices American cheese
1 slice thick cut bacon
1/2 Mushroom, sliced thinly
2 slices Roma tomato
4 to 6 leaves Bibb lettuce
Garnish with thinly sliced Red Onion, thinly sliced Radish, and a few Black Olives.
Dressing of your choice. Any one of My Blue Kitchen’s culinary oils would work beautifully here.
Here's How It's Done:
- Form your ground beef or turkey into patties, 4 ounces each. Season with salt & pepper and set aside.
- Cook your bacon. I like to cook mine in a 375 degree oven for about 20 minutes, checking to see if they are done every 7 minutes. See the notes below for something cool we did with our bacon last night.**
- While the bacon is cooking, arrange the lettuce on plates and slice your tomatoes, onions, radishes, etc.
- Cook your burgers to desired temp; rare, medium-rare, done, or well-done on the grill or in a frying pan on your stove. We like a frying pan so you don’t loose all the juice. You can also use a lid or inverted bowl to speed up the melting of the cheese.
- When the burgers are done, place them on top of your lettuce leaves and garnish with tomato slices, onion and radish. Drizzle a little dressing on the greens, if you like.
- And that’s it, you’re done. Feel smug that you just avoided a carb load and still had a good time.
Notes:
*Ground beef – feel free to substitute ground turkey, if you prefer.
**Fun with bacon – I love bacon on a burger and I also love mushrooms, but if you are enjoying your mushroom burger on a gluten free bun, sometimes the mushrooms escape. So, I placed my thinly sliced mushrooms right on top of my bacon strips. Might look a little weird to you, but I assure you it was delicious and no mushrooms managed to evade my fork.
