Avocado and Mushroom Stuffed Burgers

Evidently this is the week I stuff mushroom into meat. I bought a huge package of mushrooms from Trader Joes for the mushroom stuffed chicken breasts and decided to use the rest on this recipe, originally just avocado stuffed burgers. I have to say, my last minute decision to add the leftover mushroom was a good one. This recipe would be great for a Paleo Party- mushroom and avocado sliders. Either way you make them, they are mmmmmm!

Avocado and Mushroom Stuffed Burgers:

Ingredients:

• 1 lb grass fed ground beef
• 1 egg
• 1/4 cup coconut flour
• salt and pepper
• 1 avocado
• 1/2 cup mushrooms

Mix beef, egg, coconut flour, salt and pepper by hand in a mixing bowl. Split this mixture into four even sections, roll into balls. Cut those balls in half. Flatten four of the eight halves and lay them down on a foil lined baking sheet. Divide sliced avocado and mushrooms and lay on top of flattened patties. It will look like this:

Then take the other four halves and cover the tops of the burgers. Make a seal by pinching the edges all around the burgers so the avocado and mushrooms won't pour out. Broil for 8 minutes then flip and broil another 8 minutes.

*I served these with asparagus, but sweet potato fries would be a good addition!
