The Burger Episode

It's Labor Day.  I hope everyone has some plans to get out and enjoy the last summer holiday weekend.  And what better way to do it then with a good old fashioned BBQ.  Here are a couple burger recipes to give a go.

From Paleo Girls, I give you - the Lamb Bacon Burger.

What:

• 1.75 lbs. ground lamb bacontastic (you can just chop up some raw bacon and add it to the ground meat)
• Dried Parsley, several shakes (fresh parsley would be great also)
• Dried Oregano, several shakes (fresh parsley would be great also)
• Sea Salt, to taste
• Black Pepper, to taste

How:

• Add bacon, parsley, oregano, sea salt, and black pepper to the ground lamb.
• Mix by hand until all herbs are evenly distributed.
• Divide into 4, and form burger patties with your hands
• Top with another sprinkle of the parsley and oregano
• While the burgers are grilling, cook up a few more pieces of fresh bacon!
• Grill to Medium
• Top with fresh-cooked bacon
• Top with Guacamole or Salsa
• Serve & enjoy!

I challenge you to try it without the bun!  All the delicious goodness, none of the empty calories!

Here are two other burger recipes to check out:

Pork-Fennel Burgers from Mark Bittman

And last but not least, which you have to travel to Wisconsin for, is the krispy kreme burger (I do not recommend you try this at home, folks).
