Ingredients

  • 1/2 medium ripe avocado, peeled
  • 1 large egg, room temperature, lightly beaten
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 tablespoon canola oil
  • AVOCADO SAUCE:
  • 1 medium ripe avocado, peeled
  • 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 4 brioche hamburger buns, split and lightly toasted
  • Optional: Lettuce leaves, tomato slices, sliced red onion, cooked bacon strips, mayonnaise

Directions

  1. In a large bowl, mash avocado. Add egg, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, oregano and pepper until combined. Add beef, mix lightly but thoroughly. Shape into four 1/2-in. thick patties. Chill 30 minutes.
  2. In a large nonstick skillet, cook burgers in oil over medium heat until a thermometer reads 160°, 3-4 minutes on each side.
  3. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, mix avocado, mayonnaise, lemon juice, garlic powder and salt until smooth.
  4. Top bun bottoms with burgers; top with avocado sauce. If desired, serve with lettuce, tomato, onion, bacon and mayonnaise.
Not only is this burger topped with a delicious avocado crema, but also there is avocado mixed into the beef. Throw any extra avocado on top of your burger for even more creamy goodness! —Gabriella DiSanto, Lancaster, Pennsylvania
