under directions #3 – should it say “add the buger to the veggies and condiments of your choice?” I didn’t understand “buns”
Thanks

The burgers are the buns! so you layer all the veggies between the burgers. It is super yummey and gives you the feeling of eating a traditional burger.

So, should you form the 1 pound beef into 8 patties…because you should only be eating 4 oz., so you would want each patty to be 2 oz. so you can eat two with veggies in between??

I am new to the paleo community and MAN….I am really finding other paleo eaters to be super critical. It is standing as a turn off to the lifestyle itself. I have tried many recipes on this site and they have all been great. Keep up the good work Paleo Plan!

The comments about veggies . . . are they referring to a previous revision of this recipe? Or to another recipe?

@tjw6150 – Yes, that’s correct – a previous version.

This was delicious! I cook a whole lot extra to feed my family and have leftovers for my and hubby’s lunches. Unfortunately these were so good that my young children ate up all our leftovers! Noooo!
Definitely on my favorites list and will be made again very soon!

What veggies do we put on it? I don’t see any listed? maybe lettuce?

Nevermind! It’s the cabbage…silly me.

Get creative! Try those extra large mushroom sliced with tomatoe or avocado lettuce, let your creativity be your guide!

We made these with shredded romaine lettuce, sliced roma tomatoes, slices of avocado, sliced mushrooms, and Dijon mustard! Thanks for the inspiration. :)

I like to use large portabella mushrooms as “buns” for hamburgers. Just smear them with the hamburger jucies and grill until soft and juicy. SO good messy but good!
