PALEO BURGERS WITH CARAMELIZED BALSAMIC ONIONS & AVOCADO

I was craving burgers the other day so I decided to remake this recipe and rephotograph it because it severely needed a facelift!

As we head into the fall and winter months I know some of you .. ahem not me because I get to grill year round here in Texas … will be under 2 ft of snow.

Which is why, me, being the smart kind caring person that I am, 🙂 made these burgers INSIDE on my skillet. So that you can have a taste of summer in the midst of a snow storm! {even though it pained me to not go out to the grill, I did it for you, my loyal readers}

Burgers and even STEAKS can be just as good and juice when you make them on a skillet. The key is making sure your pan is seared hot so that you can get a nice sear on your meat to lock in the flavors!
