Ingredients
  

Burgers
Toppings
  • 2 tablespoons bacon fat or coconut oil, duck fat, etc
  • 1 sweet potato peeled
  • Pinch of sage
  • 2 cups baby spinach washed
  • 1 roma tomato
  • 1 avocado sliced
  • sea salt and pepper to taste

Method
 

Toppings
  1. You want to prepare these before cooking your burgers so you can dress your burgers when done and enjoy
  2. Preheat a cast iron skillet or pan over medium heat
  3. Using a spiral slicer or julienne peeler, make your peeled sweet potato into noodles
  4. Place your bacon fat in your pan and once melted add your sweet potatoes and your pinch of sage
  5. Saute for 8-10 minutes stirring often as to not burn your sweet potatoes until they are at the consistency you desire
  6. Remove from the heat and set aside
  7. Wash and slice your roma tomato
  8. Cut your avocado in half, remove the pit, peel the skin off and slice
  9. Wash your baby spinach and set aside
Burgers
  1. Preheat your grill on high heat
  2. Ensure your ground beef has been at room temperature for a minimum of 30 minutes
  3. Place your ground beef, salt and pepper, and half your lemon juice in a mixing bowl and combine everything with your hands
  4. Divide the meat in half and form two even-sized 3/4 inch patties ensuring you depress the center of your burgers with your thumb making a well
  5. Place your burgers on your preheated grill and cook covered for 3 minutes
  6. After 3 minutes, flip your burgers and cook for another 2 minutes covered
  7. Open the lid and top with your goat cheese and leave your burgers until your cheese is melted and remove from the grill
  8. If you have a meat thermometer, you can use it to cook your burgers to the doneness you desire since grills have different temperatures and burger thickness will vary
Assembly
  1. Place 1 cup of spinach on each plate
  2. Top with a burger on each bed of spinach
  3. Add your avocado and then garnish each burger with your sauteed sweet potatoes and put your tomatoes on the side
  4. Use your remaining lemon juice and sprinkle over everything if you'd like
  5. Enjoy
