Paleo Burgers with Caramelized Balsamic Onions
It’s kinda fun to have recipes that I can now rephotograph, but also kinda weird to think I have an “archive” of recipes! I have been blogging for about 3 years and have some recipes that are popular … or were popular back in the day but got lost in the midst of constant recipe pimping.
These Paleo Burgers is one of those recipes! It has gotten pick up by quick a few other websites and has over 41K repins on it. Plus it’s just plain yummy.
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}
These Paleo {yup, they are Paleo & Gluten-free} Burgers are super easy to make, full of flavor, and can be done and on your table in less than 30 minutes. {ok, kinda left like Rachel Ray there, but hey its true!}
When it comes to burgers my non-negotiable is, it HAS to have grilled or caramelized onions on it. No exceptions! I’m addicted. Caramelized Onions are like candy to me!
Tips for Making these Healthy Burgers
To kick up the flavor to this bread-less burger I added balsamic vinegar to the caramelized onions and OMG!!! I cannot even describe to you how good they were. Screw-the-burger-just-give-me-a-spoon-and-the-caramelized-onions! They’re that GOOD! {I may or may not have hidden them from my husband when we had these for leftovers the next night} Add on the avocado, which of course makes everything better, and you have yourself one awesome HEALTHY Burger!
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!
