Description

Nose to Tail Burgers made with beef liver and heart, bacon, onion, garlic, rosemary, and seasonings for a satisfying meal that’s super tasty AND nutrient dense.


Scale

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds ground beef
  • 10 ounces bacon diced or ground sausage
  • ¾ pound beef heart, cubed
  • ½ pound beef liver, cubed
  • 1 large onion, diced
  • 4 cloves garlic, sliced
  • 3 sprigs rosemary, leaves only
  • 2 teaspoons fine salt
  • 2 teaspoons kelp granules
  • 2 teaspoons ground ginger
  • 2 teaspoons ground cumin
  • 2 teaspoons ground turmeric
  • 2 teaspoons black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon 5 spice
  • ½ cup almond meal, pork panko or coconut flour

Instructions

If using a meat grinder:

  1. Put the bacon, heart, liver and then garlic, onion and rosemary through the grinder until it all comes out the other end and into a large bowl.

If using a food processor:

  1. Pulse the bacon, and heart until minced then transfer to a bowl. Then pulse the liver, garlic onion and rosemary until minced and add to the bowl.
  2. Add in the rest of the ingredients and mix well until fully combined. I use gloves to I can really get in there and mix it well. Then I use a 4-ounce scoop to shape even sized patties.

Smoker instructions:

  1. Cook in your smoker at 375F for 25 minutes then switch to just smoke for 10 minutes.

Oven instructions:

  1. Place on a sheet pan and roast at 375F for 30 minutes, broil for 2-3 minutes.
