Chipotle Bacon Sliders (gluten and grain free)

Jump to Recipe

Chipotle Bacon Sliders (gluten and grain free) | savorylotus.coms

My mouth is still watering just thinking about the dinner I made this past weekend: Chipotle Bacon Sliders.

OK, I may be slightly obsessed with sliders right now.  I’ve been traveling a bit and have had the chance to eat at some great restaurants lately.  One thing that I always enjoy is a good slider.  What’s not to love?  Cute little burgers covered in all sorts of tasty yummies like caramelized onions, spicy aioli, avocado, and savory sauces.  I just leave off the bun, ask for extra lettuce, and I’m in heaven.

Last weekend, I was feeling lazy but wanted something really good for dinner.  I looked in the fridge and what did I see?  A pound of local, grass feds beef and a pound of delicious bacon.  PERFECT!

Sliders are a perfect, quick and easy dinner idea.  They don’t require much prep, and they cook up in just minutes.  You can top them with just about anything.  Sauerkraut is my little ones favorite topping right now.

My kids love having mini meals served to them.  I do too.  There is just something satisfying about eating 2 or 3 burgers instead of just one.

So here you go….. my new favorite slider recipe: Chipotle Bacon Sliders.

Scale

Ingredients

  • 1 large yellow onion, sliced into thin rounds
  • 2 TBS butter, ghee (like this), or coconut oil (like this)
  • 1 pound ground meat
  • 4 strips of precooked bacon
  • 1 tsp unrefined sea salt (I use this one)
  • 1/2 tsp chipotle chili powder (like this)
  • 1/2 tsp chili powder (like this one)
  • 1 tsp cumin powder (like this)
  • 1 TBS butter, ghee, or coconut oil for cooking burgers
  • 1 avocado
  • lime juice
  • unrefined sea salt

OPTIONAL:

  • a few dashes of your favorite hot sauce
  • lettuce for garnish

Instructions

TO MAKE CARAMELIZED ONIONS:

  1. Melt the ghee, butter, or coconut oil on medium heat. Add onion rounds and saute slowly until golden brown. Push the onions around a bit to make sure they cook evenly. You can add a tablespoon of water if they begin to stick to pan. Mine usually take 20-25 minutes.
  2. Mash together avocado, lime, and salt in a small bowl. Add optional hot sauce for some heat. Set aside.
  3. Combine ground meat, chopped bacon, salt, and spices in a medium bowl. Mix to combine. Form into 9 small patties.
  4. Heat 1 TBS of fat of choice in skillet on medium to medium high heat. Cook patties 4-5 minutes on each side, or until cooked the way you like it.
  5. Serve over a bed of fresh lettuce. Top with caramelized onions and avocado.

    Just made these for lunch, and they were delicious! I might add more chipotle chili powder next time, but only to kick up the intensity a bit. Def not required to improve this great recipe. Thank you for sharing! 🙂

how do you start your day? 💪🏃‍♀️🧘🏽‍♀️🚴🏽‍♂️☕️

mindset mindset mindset 🧠🧠• having a morning routine allows us to set an intention for the day rather then just letting the day run away from us • it helps determine our mind set and the tone for the rest of the day ✨✨

things like meditation, journaling, yoga, exercise, and other self-care practices can help us start the day feeling calm and inspired 🧘🏻 • consciously selecting the thoughts we have, the foods we eat , and the news/social media/images we see matters • a solid morning routine can reduce stress, boost energy, increase mental clarity, and leave us feeling 🤩

creating a morning routine looks different for us all • routine comes easier for some than others • we all have different priorities, time limits, physical needs/abilities, and health concerns there • are no rules • find what works for you 

i know that i feel better when i stick to my morning routine • i know that i feel better when i don’t engage with my phone or social media the first hour or two after waking up • i know i feel better when i consciously select what i bring into my head space first thing in the morning, including the thoughts that i have 

my morning routine currently looks like this:  10 minutes of quiet meditation, some form of elimination pathways opening like Gua Sha, coffee e nema, an epsom salts bath, or a sauna, yoga/workout, and a big green juice 🥬🥒🍏

👉👉 do you have a morning routine?  i’d love to hear how you start your day • leave me a comment below ⤵️⤵️
what’s not to love about a fritter? ❤️ • what’s not to love about a fritter? ❤️ •  made a batch of my BUTTERNUT SQUASH FRITTERS this morning • a great way to get more vegetables onto your plate • so good with a plate of fried eggs and steamed kale • made with just a few simple ingredients • don’t skip the fresh herbs 🍀🌱🍀

* butternut squash (about 3 pounds)- peeled and shredded
* eggs, whisked
* 1/2 cup gluten free flour (I used a combo of almond flour and tapioca) 
* 1/4 cup fresh herbs, finely chopped ( any combo of parsley, basil, sage, or cilantro)
* 1/4–1/2 tsp garlic powder
* 1 tsp salt
* ghee or avocado oil for cooking

1. in a large bowl, combine shredded butternut squash, eggs, flour, herbs, garlic powder, and salt.  mix to combine. 
2. in a large skillet, heat a liberal amount of fat of choice over medium high heat.  scoop out 2 tablespoons of mixture into hand, squeeze into a ball, and place into skillet, flattening with the back of a spatula or measuring cup. cook until golden brown.  flip and cook other side.  repeat until mixture is all gone, adding more fat as needed. 
3. place cooked fritters onto a wire rack while cooking the rest.  serve immediately or freeze for later once cooled.
self-care is about creating healthy habits ❤️• having a “self-care” routine before you get sick can keep you healthy 💪 • and it doesn’t have to be expensive or time consuming • there are so many ways to care for yourself that are 100% free:
💧 hydration
☀️ sunshine,
🌈 fresh air
🌲 nature
🤸🏼‍♂️ movement
🙏 gratitude
👯 connection
🧘🏽‍♀️ meditation

the body usually gives us signals that something is starting to be out of balance • it’s important that we listen or it can lead to more serious health issues • every day is another chance to start taking care of ourselves 

my self-care routine focuses heavily on detoxification/elimination because i’m in heal mode • my toxic burden bucket 🪣 got too full + it put me over the edge • the liver, kidneys, large intestine, lymphatic system, and sweat glands 💦💦 work hard every day to reduce the build up of environmental contaminants and need regular support to keep functioning optimally • my self-care routine includes:

• infrared sauna for sweating
• Gua Sha to move lymph
• epsom salt baths
• daily movement
• hydration
• cold-pressed juices for nutrition
• coffee enemas
• ozone therapy 
• red light therapy 
• time in nature

don’t wait until you get sick to decide to take care of yourself • you only have this one body and this one precious life • it is NOT normal to feel crappy as we age • let’s change the paradigm and move forward in age with grace + vitality ✨✨• than you, @dr.jess.md for motivating me to take things to the next level
sweet potatoes + instant pot shredded chicken + sa sweet potatoes + instant pot shredded chicken + salsa verde + avocado = my kind of dinner • easy, family-friendly + damn delicious
