Burger Night

You can do this with any type of ground meat, however, I recommend Grass Fed/finished, Organic Beef or Local cuts of meat if possible- bison, venison.

Burgers ingredients:

• 1 lb ground meat

• 1 tsp Trader Joe’s BBQ rub, or clean seasoning of your choice

• 1/4 tsp sea salt

Burger instructions:

1. Combine loosely with hands, divide and pattie to the size of your liking- typical yield is 4-5 burgers. 

2. Grill burgers to desired doneness, approximately 4+ minutes on each side on a gas grill set on med/high.  

3. Serve bun-less, inside large romaine or bib lettuce leaves.

4. Add hummus or Trader Joes Black Bean dip as condiment; add sliced tomato and avocado.

 Sweet Potato “Fries” ingredients:

• 4-5 medium sized Sweet Potatoes

•  1-2 tsp Trader Joe’s 21 seasoning salute

• 1/2 tsp sea salt

• 1 TBSP Coconut Oil

Sweet Potato “Fries” instructions:

1. Peel and slice potatoes in fry-like fashion.

2. Melt coconut oil in a baking dish in the oven, set at 375 degrees.

3. When melted, remove pan, add potatoes and spices and toss lightly.

4. Bake for approximately 15-20 minutes and turn the fries over.

5. Bake another 10-12 minutes for desired readiness.  The longer you bake, the crispier they will be.
