Recipe Notes

Lay on the toppings, girlfriend…sliced avocado, sprouts, raw cheese, homemade mayo, thinly sliced red onion, or whip up some guacamole…

How about some bacon?

If you don’t “do” grains, use a lettuce leaf to create your “sandwich”

These make great “sliders” if you have a mini waffle maker, just form 8 smaller burger patties
