Day 43 of the 50-day Paleo Challenge: Bun-less burgers!

By special request, I am posting my recipe for burgers! I eat these once a week and I've got it down to where I can prepare them in 15 minutes. If you have a family member helping, you should have them dice up the veggies while you prep everything else! These burgers are so delicious and are great with portabella mushroom buns!

Ingredients:
3 lbs. Organic Ground Beef (I like the Costco pack)
1 sweet red onion (finely diced)
1 green bell pepper (finely diced)
1 medium carrot (finely grated)
5 cloves of garlic (minced or crushed)
1 tsp. sea salt
1 Tbsp. Salt-free garlic and herb
2 Tbsp. Chili powder
1 Tbsp. Cayenne pepper (I like to use 2 Tbsp, for added heat)
1 Tbsp. Black pepper
2 eggs


Directions:

Place your 3 lbs. of ground beef into a large mixing bowl. Prep all of your veggies for the burger mix (i.e. dice up your onion and bell pepper, grate your carrot, and crush your garlic) and add it to your ground beef. Add your spices: sea salt, garlic and herb, chili powder, cayenne pepper, and black pepper. Use your hand and mix up well, until the ingredients are evenly spread throughout the beef! Then, add your 2 eggs and mix well again. Make about 12-15 balls of beef and place on a plate. Heat up a pan with olive oil in it. Flatten balls of beef into patties and cook on medium heat for about 4 minutes on each side. Try not to flip more than once, so use a timer!

Serve with Green Leaf Lettuce as your "bun", slices of tomatoes, and slices of avocado. If you like portabella mushrooms, they go great with this burger! Heat those mushrooms up in the oil leftover from cooking the burgers! Enjoy!
