Take beef and separate into 4 equal balls. Form into patties and press your thumb in the center. The thumb press will keep the burger from swelling and will keep it a bit flatter.
Set burgers aside.
Slice onions.
Wash and slice mushrooms.
Take two pans and put 1tsp of avocado oil in each. Add onion to one and mushroom to the other.
Saute onions until they start to brown and then add maple syrup. Mix well and saute another 30 seconds or so and set aside.
Saute mushrooms until soft about 5-10 min and then add ground pepper. Mix well and cook another 30 seconds or so and set aside.
Cook bacon. My favorite way to cook bacon is to place a paper towel on a plate and lay bacon out ensuring the pieces don't touch. I then cover with another paper towel and pop in the microwave for a few minutes until crisp.
Put burgers on the grill and cook until they reach at least 155 degrees. Around 5-6 min and then flip and cook for an additional 3-4 min.
Slice avocado.
To plate take ½ cup of green and place in the center of 4 plates. Top with burger, onions, mushrooms, bacon and avocado.
Notes
Use organic and consciously sourced grass fed meat whenever possible! I have yet to find a Paleo compliant bacon where I live. I buy Whole Foods brand which does contain a small amount of sugar. Since I only eat bacon on occasion I don't worry about it too much.
