  5. Place the hamburger buns on the grill to lightly toast. Remove the burgers and buns from the grill.

Notes

  • Always make sure the internal temperature of the burger is 160°F before removing it from the grill. 
  • If you don't have a grill, you can cook these burgers on the stove in a cast iron skillet over medium high heat, following the same instructions as if you were making them on the grill.
  • Remove the bun to make this recipe gluten free and low carb. Without the bun, this recipe is 3 carbs per serving.
  • Remove the bun and the mozzarella cheese to make this recipe whole 30 compliant and paleo friendly.
