An easy, weeknight dinner option that gives everybody their choice of toppings. 

Author: Elaine Watkins | Food and Living Coach
Ingredients
  • 1-2 Tablespoons Coconut or Extra Virgin Olive Oil (prefer organic, refined coconut)
  • 2 Lbs Ground beef (prefer organic, grass-fed and finished)
  • 1/2 Tablespoon Salt
  • 1/8 Tablespoon Ground Pepper
Optional Ingredients
  • 1 Tablespoon Ground Garlic (prefer organic)
  • 1 Egg (prefer organic, free range)
  • 1/2-1 Tablespoon Tomato paste and/or Mustard
  • 1 Dill Pickle (Chopped)
  • 1 Red Pepper (Chopped)
  • 1/8 Teaspoon Dill Weed (Chopped)
  • 1 Jalapeno or Serrano Pepper (Chopped, but not so family-friendly)
  • ¼-½ White or Yellow Onion (Chopped)
Instructions
  1. Mix chosen ingredients together in a bowl, form into small hamburger patties or meatballs.

  2. Spread oil in lidded skillet and pre-heat to medium. The oil can splatter, so take care and adjust heat as needed.

  3. Distribute patties/meatballs in your skillet according to what fits evenly distributed flat, and cook for approximately 5-10 minutes on each side.

  4. Check the patties/meatballs as they cook and remove when all the pink of the meat is gone.

  5. Serve with your toppings.

Recipe Notes
  1. I like Tropical Traditions Expeller-Pressed or Nutiva Refined Coconut Oil
  2. I  use organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil from Azure Standard.
  3. I prefer Redmond Real Salt (Fine).
