Grain-Free Paleo Burgers
This recipe makes a great weeknight dinner because preparation and cooking time are so quick. It makes a great year-round option -- the burgers can be cooked on the grill or in a pan on the stove top. Serve them wrapped in lettuce with all of your favorite vegetable toppings. Add sweet potato fries and a side salad to round out the meal.
