You must be hungry! I haven't given you any food since Sunday.
While I adore fancy gourmet food, I also LOVE a good burger. I will often get a double-double at In-N-Out or if I am watching the carbs, I get the double-double protein style. It is still a GREAT burger. I like everything on it.
At home I often do burger without the bun as well. I do different things with it but this one is fairly typical for me. After cooking the patty (with a little Emmenthaler melted on top) , I place it on a bed of fresh baby spinach leaves and top with caramelized onions or leeks and some baby orange heirloom tomatoes. It really satisfies. The only thing this particular meal was missing is a great glass of red. But with so much to do, I cannot afford an extra second of sleepiness the next few weeks. Nor the calories.
Try it with sautéed mushrooms too! Fabulous!

That burger looks delicious. They really are great without the bun and piled high with veggies and other good stuff.
Yumm! This looks really good. I can see how you wouldn't even miss the bun with all those yummy veggies.

Yum!
Caramelized leeks sound yummy :)
I eat my burger without a bun most of the time. But it is just because I'm not that big of a bread fan. I know...I'm weird. LOL!
I like burgers, but I'm not a huge fan of buns. Okay - now I really want a burger.
Jared- I agree!
Amy- The caramelized onions TOTALLY make up for the bun.
Lisa- Thanks.
Lori- Isn't everything amazing when caramelized?
Jaime- You DO have some funny tendencies. I have never known ANYONE who didn't like bread.
Kate- I don't like the boring traditional buns but really good ciabatta rolls or french rolls or something like that, I LOVE. Total bread snob here!
That burger is to die for! All drippy and juicy! Sometimes you just gotta have one.
