Good eating habits are just as addictive as bad eating habits. This is true because that’s all it is: a habit. If you’re used to eating a burger with a big, spongy white bun then you’ll eat it that way every single time. Likewise, if you’re used to eating a burger wrapped in lettuce, then you’ll eat it that way every single time. And the habit that involves lettuce rather than white buns is going to leave you a lot leaner and healthier. So why not?
Note: If ground beef is not your thing then make these luscious, fully loaded burgers using ground turkey or ground chicken breast. Or really treat yourself and use ground bison. Mmmmmmmm.
1 yellow onion
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 pound ground beef
2 tablespoons blanched almond flour
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1 tablespoon balsamic glaze
6 bacon strips
1 head Butter Lettuce
3 Tomatoes, sliced
¼ cup fresh chives
Peel and slice the onion. Place the onion slices and olive oil in a skillet over medium high heat. Cook until the onions caramelize.
Combine the ground beef, almond flour, tomato paste, and balsamic glaze in a bowl. Form 6 patties. Grill to desired doneness.
Cook the bacon in a skillet or in the oven until crispy. Blot with a paper towel. Assemble the burgers with lettuce on the bottom and top, sliced tomato, bacon slices, caramelized onions, and a sprinkle of chopped chives. Enjoy!
