Burgers with Bacon/Onion Marmalade

I know I know, I went MIA again. I hope the recipes from last week made up for my absence the past six days (has it been six days?? EEK!) Excuse #1: I traveled to Indianapolis for a long weekend- luckily my Auntie Daun is AMAZING and had a fridge stocked full of Paleo food, as well as some decadent Paleo/raw brownie cookie dough bars. Excuse #2: I'm still running on slow mode from being sick, this thing will not go away. I've skipped so many days of CrossFit I can't even count. As you know, bacon is my comfort food. Beef comes in a close second, so these burgers were perfect (asparagus were consumed for good measure).

Burgers with Bacon/Onion Marmalade:

Ingredients:

• 1 lb grass fed beef
• 1 egg
• 1 tablespoon coconut flour
• 1/2 onion
• 1/2 apple
• 5 pieces uncured bacon
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 3 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
• 1 tablespoon raw organic honey

To make the burgers: mix beef, egg, and coconut flour (use your hands people, no need for a wooden spoon here).  Form into 4-6 patties and place on foil lined baking sheet. If you are lucky enough to own a grill, go for it. If not, broil about 8 minutes on each side.

To make the marmalade: Chop onion into slivers, caramelize in olive oil on medium-high heat. Cook bacon however you please (I bake mine in the oven at 400 for about 15 minutes). Slice apple into slivers. Once the onions are caramelized add apple cider vinegar and cook about 1 minute. Then add cooked bacon and apple slivers. Drizzle honey over and cook another 3-5 minutes. Serve on top of burgers and fill the rest of your plate with veggies!
