#1,303: Chipotle Bacon Sliders

I was for sure that I would absolutely love this recipe, but shockingly I was not a fan at all.  I don't know if it's because I used turkey bacon instead of delicious regular bacon, but it was just too much meat flavor and not enough flavoring in the burgers.  Thumbs down for me with this recipe.  

1 large yellow onion, sliced into thin rounds
2 TBS butter, ghee, or coconut oil
1 pound ground meat (I used ground turkey)
4 strips of precooked bacon
1 tsp unrefined sea salt
1/2 tsp chipotle chili powder
1/2 tsp chili powder
1 tsp cumin powder
1 TBS butter, ghee, or coconut oil for cooking burgers
1 avocado
lime juice
unrefined sea salt

OPTIONAL: a few dashes of your favorite hot sauce
lettuce for garnish

To make carmelized onions: Melt the ghee, butter, or coconut oil on medium heat.  Add onion rounds and saute slowly until golden brown.  Push the onions around a bit to make sure they cook evenly.  You can add a tablespoon of water if they begin to stick to pan (20-25 minutes).

Mash together avocado, lime, and salt in a small bowl.  Add optional hot sauce for some heat. Set aside.

Combine ground meat, chopped bacon, salt, and spices in a medium bowl.  Mix to combine.  Form into 9 small patties.

Heat 1 tbsp of fat of choice in skillet on medium to medium high heat.  Cook patties 4-5 minutes on each side, or until cooked the way you like it.

Serve over a bed of fresh lettuce.  Top with caramelized onions and avocado.
