Avocado and Sun-dried Tomato Stuffed Burgers

I made this Instagram post a couple weeks ago about where my nutrition journey started in 2013 and a friend commented about the avocado and sun-dried tomato stuffed burger I was "food logging". Honestly, I totally remember that burger being SO tasty, so I found it and brought it back! It also brought back even more memories of all the paleo food blogs that helped get me started with my journey. It is truly my biggest hope that my blog here is that same resource for many others who are either just getting started on their nutrition journey or need some motivation and help along the way. If you are reading this, thanks for visiting the site and feel free to reach out if you ever have any questions! I didn't have it all figured out in 2013, but every year I made small improvements. That one small improvement you can make today is simply making one nutritious meal to eat, like this one. Plus, it's really delicious and now you have a weeks worth of one daily nutritious meal to eat! More about the burger though...there are only 4 ingredients plus salt and pepper. I have been eating them all week and haven't noticed the avocado turning that gross brown color either. I think the key for that is to make sure the avocado mixture is truly stuffed inside the burger and not finding it's way out the sides. Also, I have found it tough finding sun-dried tomatoes that don't have any added ingredients or preservatives in them. My recommendation is to find some fresh ones in the produce aisle or at your local natural market if you can. Let me know if you give this one a try and what you think!

Avocado and Sun-dried Tomato Stuffed Burgers
Ingredients:
  • 2 lbs Ground Beef
  • 1 Tbsp Black Pepper
  • 2 Tbsp Salt, separated
  • 2 Avocados
  • 1 cup Sundried Tomatoes, chopped
  • 1 Tbsp Lemon Juice
Directions:
  1. Heat a large skillet over medium heat
  2. In a bowl combine the ground beef, black pepper and 1 tbsp salt and mix well with your hands
  3. Then form into very thin patties as you will be pressing two together around the stuffing
  4. In a separate bowl mash the avocado and mix in the sundried tomatoes, lemon juice and 1 tbsp salt
  5. Scoop some of the mixture on top of a patty, then cover with a second patty and seal around the edges, making sure none of the avocado mixture can leak out. Repeat until everything is used up.
  6. Grill evenly on both sides

My Roasted Sweet Potatoes
Ingredients:
  • 4-6 Sweet Potatoes (Depending on how much you want to make. 5 medium sized sweet potatoes usually gets me 6 oz of sweet potato fries for 6 meals. I think my idea of medium sized is bigger than most though.)
  • Olive oil spray
  • Sea salt (I love using Garlic Sea Salt!)
  • Optional: Cinnamon, Paprika, any other Spices
Directions:
  1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees
  2. Skin and cut the sweet potatoes into whatever shape you want. I either do fries, wedges or circles.
  3. Spray baking pan with olive oil. Lay down sweet potato fries flat (do not just dump a pile on the pan).
  4. I fill my Misto with olive oil and lightly spray the fries, then add some sea salt (or whatever spices you enjoy).
  5. Bake for 15-20 minutes. Take out of the oven and move them around or flip them over. Bake for another 15-20 minutes.
  6. Keep an eye on them, if they are thin bake for less time, and vice versa. Key is to move them around or flip them over half way through baking them. I usually make mine thicker, so I bake them for at least a total of 40 minutes.
