Bacon, Guac and Caramelized Onion Burger

Happy Football Sunday!  Every Thursday, Sunday and Mondays during the fall are holidays for me.  I'm always hungry for some good tailgate food and a little bit of indulgence when I watch football.  So today I broiled up a burger and fries and stuffed my face, paleo style. 

Loaded burger and fried plantains

I seasoned and broiled a 1/4 lb 80% ground beef patty.  (it was on sale) (also, with less carbs, I can eat the flavorful meat and not worry about it) while I worked on the toppings for my burger. 
Toppings:
-bacon
-caramelized oniones
-guacamole

Now, a plantain is "ripe" when it's almost black.  The one I got was literally within HOURS of being too ripe.  Slice it up and throw it in the pan. 

Brown each side, and then take them out and give them a smash.  I use the bottom of a coffee cup. 
The smashed 'nanas go back in the pan for another round of crisping. 

They're sweet and a little tangy.  They have all the best flavors of a banana and lack all the nasty flavors. (I don't love bananas.)

I like them with a mix of mayo and ketchup, but, alas, I don't have any Whole Life Challenge-friendly mayo or ketchup in my fridge. 


Either way, perfect for game day.  Now, if only my team could win one!
