Instructions
TO MAKE CARAMELIZED ONIONS:
- Melt the ghee, butter, or coconut oil on medium heat. Add onion rounds and saute slowly until golden brown. Push the onions around a bit to make sure they cook evenly. You can add a tablespoon of water if they begin to stick to pan. Mine usually take 20-25 minutes.
- Mash together avocado, lime, and salt in a small bowl. Add optional hot sauce for some heat. Set aside.
- Combine ground meat, chopped bacon, salt, and spices in a medium bowl. Mix to combine. Form into 9 small patties.
- Heat 1 TBS of fat of choice in skillet on medium to medium high heat. Cook patties 4-5 minutes on each side, or until cooked the way you like it.
- Serve over a bed of fresh lettuce. Top with caramelized onions and avocado.
