Open Faced Double Cheeseburger

     Every once in a while I get a grand idea and act on it.  Today was one of those days.  After creating the bun, everything else fell together like it was a match made in heaven.  This tower of love will set you back 540 calories, 9.6g carbs, 4.1g fiber, 5.5g net carbs, a whopping 42g protein and 39.4g fat.  If you are in the sharing mood, feel free to be generous...or call it a big meal and serve it over a bed of Greens, chop and toss all together for a bowl of deliciousness.  Either way you simply can't go wrong with this one.  It will make any fork look good!  ;)

Ingredients for one Tower~

1/2 cup Almond Flour

2 Tablespoons Olive Oil

2 Tablespoons ground Flax Seed

1 Extra Large Egg

1 teaspoon Baking Powder

Dash Salt

Dash Pepper

2 pieces Center Cut Bacon, cut in half

4oz 90% lean ground Beef, pressed into 2 equal patties

Seasoning Salt, as desired (I used a Garlic blend)

1oz/1/4 cup shredded Cheese

2 slices Roma Tomato

1/2 small Avocado, sliced

2 Tablespoons Sugar Free BBQ Sauce (I use G Hughes)

Sliced Whites of Green Onion, for garnish

      Mix first set of ingredients, pat out dough and stamp out 12 circles (I used a drinking glass~each Round should be .5oz), lay on silpat lined cookie sheet.  Bake at 350 for 6 minutes, longer if you want them crispier.  Use remaining for other Burgers or different use.  Meanwhile, add Bacon to skillet and fry til crisp, remove Bacon and add Beef patties to skillet, season as desired, flip when ready, top each half equally with shredded Cheese.  Add one Bun to plate, top with one cooked pattie, set tomato on top of melted Cheese, followed by half of the sliced Avocado and Bacon, repeat with other pattie.  For the finish, top with BBQ Sauce and Onion.  Enjoy  :)
