When I first came to the United States, I quickly realized how important the All-American burger was. It practically had a following!

There are thousands and thousands of restaurants and websites dedicated to burgers. And they soon had me following them. If you are avoiding grains, it would be a travesty to avoid burgers.

At Jamaican It Paleo, we had to find a way to still be able to enjoy Jamaican burgers, but without the bun. What could be our Paleo burger savior?

Seemingly out of nowhere, the sweet potato came to the rescue! In true Caribbean style, I season this Jamaican burger with some spices that remind me of a good homestyle meal, and put the final product between two slices of sweet potato for the bun. Check this out!
