The Prep:
I like a big burger, so I like to only make 3 burgers with this mixture, but you can stretch it to 4.
Grilling them over the onions adds so much extra flavor, but if you don’t have a flat top grill, you can cook these on a bbq grill. I suggest to smash the onions into the burger patties before grilling and minimize flipping the burgers.
Add whatever toppings you want, but the smashed avocado at the bottom is the best and adds a little bit of creaminess to the burger!
3o minute busy mom dinner series
I started this series thinking it would be a few quick and easy options for busy weeknights, but I really don’t see this series ever ending or at least anytime soon!
obviously you don’t have to be a mom to make these meals and enjoy them, but I did set out with a purpose and that was to help moms feel a little less stressed in the kitchen when it came to putting easy + healthy meals on the table for their family!
