PALEO BURGERS WITH CARAMELIZED BALSAMIC ONIONS AVOCADO - Guide Recipe
I was craving burgers the other day so I decided to remake this recipe and rephotograph it because it severely needed a facelift!
As we head into the fall and winter months I know some of you .. ahem not me because I get to grill year round here in Texas … will be under 2 ft of snow.
Which is why , me , being the smart kind caring person that I am , made these burgers INSIDE on my skillet. So that you can have a taste of summer in the midst of a snow storm! (even though it pained me to not go out to the grill , I did it for you , my loyal readers)
Burgers and even STEAKS can be just as good and juice when you make them on a skillet. The key is making sure your pan is seared hot so that you can get a nice sear on your meat to lock in the flavors!
I cannot wait for you to try these burgers. I promise you won’t even miss the bun. Bon Appetit sweet friends.
Hope you have a wonderful weekend!
