Beef Burger with Creamy Lemon Spinach & Fried Radish Chips

My mission, should I choose to accept, was to make a burger using the secret ingredients; lemon, spinach, cream, and radishes. The result is this 100% Beef Burger with Creamy Lemon Spinach & Fried Radish Chips. What would you have made?

The new Burger of the Month Club I’ve joined is like a “Chopped challenge” except there is none of that pesky pressure, and nobody gets “chopped.” It’s all about having fun with each month’s secret ingredients and seeing how creative you can be whipping up a burger creation.

The Burger of the Month Club is the brainchild of Kita Roberts of Girl Carnivore and it’s open to everyone who’d like to join. Please visit Girl Carnivore’s Burger of the Month Club Facebook Group Page to learn more.

While this may not necessarily be what you think of when you think of a burger (where’s the bun, right?), don’t let that fool you into thinking that this 100% Beef Burger with Creamy Lemon Spinach & Fried Radish Chips doesn’t have great taste! It 100% does!!

This TOTALLY ROCKED my burger-loving world (even without the bun), and the fried radish chips TOTALLY ROCKED my husband’s “I miss potato chips-world!” Since we’ve been eating a low-carb diet, potato chips and burger buns are a no-no.

The ingredient list to make 100% Beef Burger with Creamy Lemon Spinach & Fried Radish Chips is as follows;

• Ground Beef (I use an 80/20 blend)
• Fresh Baby Spinach
• Lemons
• Radishes
• Heavy Cream
• Garlic
• Freshly Grated Nutmeg
• Avocado Oil
• Butter
• Cheese slices (I used a Pepper Jack)
• Bun (optional)
• Lettuce (optional)
• salt and pepper

What is the best way to ensure evenly shaped, tender and juicy burgers?

Over the years, I’ve become a complete minimalist when it comes to making my beef burgers. I shape my patties with only ground meat and season them liberally (on the outside only) with salt and pepper right before they go on the grill. That’s it. Nothing fancy and nothing added to the beef ahead of time.

This way the taste of the ground beef really shines through, and there is no extra mixing that would make the burger tough. I’ve also been using a 3½” round cookie cutter for forming my patties. I gently press the meat into the cutter (not packing too tightly), and voila, I’ve ensured myself evenly shaped burgers, that are tender and juicy, each and every time.

• Season the spinach with salt and pepper and stir occasionally until the spinach wilts down.
• Add chopped garlic and heavy cream to the pan. Reduce the heat to medium/low.

• Meanwhile, grill the burgers to your desired doneness.
• To serve, top each burger with a slice of cheese of your choice, the creamy lemon spinach and a mound of radish chips.
• Serve on a bun, or with lettuce if eating low-carb.
