Notes
TIFFY’S TIPS
- As an alternative cooking method, cook stovetop with a grill pan (don’t forget to add a spray of olive oil) or in the broiler of your oven.
- For sanitation purposes, I use these disposable food safe cooking gloves when combining the ingredients.
- This grilling tong and turner set is ideal for grilling. It’s much longer than traditional products which allows you to stay a safe distance from the grill.
- To bind the ingredients together I add rolled oats. You can also use bread crumbs (or gluten-free bread crumbs).
- I love brioche buns, but use whichever hamburger buns you prefer. For a gluten-free alternative, forgo the buns and use Romaine lettuce or Boston lettuce for the perfect wrap.
- Get creative with your toppings. barbecue sauce, Thousand Island dressing, cheese, mayo, honey mustard, sprouts, caramelized onions and peppers, bacon… the list is endless. Yum!!
