There aren’t many things I like better than a big juicy burger! Add some BBQ sauce and bacon on that big juicy burger, and I am in heaven! This is a super quick, easy, and superb recipe that I will never get enough of!

Prep Time: 10 minutes Cook Time: 10-15 minutes Yield: 4 burgers

Ingredients:

• 1 lb of ground beef
• 1 cup of yellow onions chopped
• 4-8 pieces of Whole 30 compliant bacon (Depends on how much bacon you want to put on burger)
• 1/2-3/4 of a red onion sliced as a topping to burger
• Whole 30 BBQ Sauce (I use Tessemae’s Matty’s BBQ Sauce)
• Some type of lettuce that can act as a bun (I like butter lettuce or collard greens)
• Salt/Pepper
• 1 TBSP Ghee
• 2 TBSP of Extra Virgin Olive Oil (EVOO)

Directions:

1. Take your chopped yellow onions and caramelize them with ghee until light brown
   1. Don’t clean out the pan-you will use the same pan to cook the burgers
2. Make 4 patties out of ground beef and salt and pepper each patty.
3. Make an indent into the burger with your thumb about 2 thumb widths both left to right and top to bottom
4. Place caramelized onions equally into each of the 4 patties and then fold meat back over the onions so that it looks like there is just meat, no onions
5. Place EVOO into pan and place burgers in pan and cover pan (stove should start on medium and then work your way up to medium high as the cooking progresses)
6. After 5 minutes, flip burgers in pan and cover)
7. While meat is cooking, wash the lettuce you are using and chop red onion
8. Once you have your burgers cooked to your liking, take them out and place them on a plate
9. Lay out your lettuce on a plate
   1. If you are making it on butter lettuce, I suggest laying the burger down, then onion, then BBQ sauce
   2. If you are making it a collard green, I would do the opposite so that the loose items aren’t near the openings of the collard greens
