Homemade burgers are simple and quick to make. This healthy version uses lettuce as a bun and is loaded with veggies and avocado. If you want, add a slice of Organic Valley American Cheese for a classic burger, or make it an indulgence and include bacon too!
Ingredients
- 4 large leaves organic romaine lettuce
- 1 organic tomato
- 1 organic avocado
- 4 slices organic red onion
- 4 organic sandwich pickles
- 1/2 pound Organic Prairie Grassfed Beef
- Salt and pepper
2 slices Organic Valley American Cheese (optional)
Directions
- Break each leaf of lettuce in half. Cut the tomatoes into 1/4-inch thick slices. Slice avocado into slices (you can use half the avocado or the whole avocado for extra).
- Form burger patties into 1/4-pound burgers that are about 5-inches in diameter. Salt and pepper each side.
- In a large skillet, turn heat to medium/high. Once the skillet is hot, place burger patties in the skillet. Cook for 2 to 4 minutes per side, flip and cook again on the second side. I like to cook my burgers to medium rare but cook to your liking. Remove from heat.
- If adding cheese slices, do so now, and allow to melt (trick is to cover with a lid here).
- To assemble: Add two pieces of lettuce for the bottom, place the burger on top, then add the avocado, tomato, red onion, and pickles.
- Serve immediately.
