I love all things summer and this recipe screams summertime! ๐
There are 3 things that I love about this recipe:
1๏ธโฃ Grass fed beef is so much more nutritious than grain fed (and hormone/antibiotic raised).
2๏ธโฃ It's full of veggies, so if you get resistance at home, this is a great way to up the veggies.
3๏ธโฃ Since meat (and well, pretty much everything else) has gone up in price, I like adding the veggies because it makes the meat go further.
Be reminded, that you don't always need a burger bun, lettuce can do (and if you need starch, try sweet potatoes on the side, or as your bread). If you are open to avoiding the starch, you can use a lettuce wrap or a grain free bun!
