If you find your avocados aren’t quite ripe when you get home put them either in a dark cupboard or a small brown paper bag.
What is the easiest way to get the pit out of my avocado?
It is found that the easiest way to get the pit out is to first cut the avocado in half. Next, you can cut a small slice from the top of the avocado to the top of the pit. Then from the bottom of the avocado to the bottom of the pit. Lastly from one side of the avocado to the pit and the same for the other side of the pit to the other side of the avocado. This then makes it very easy to take a spoon and carefully take the pit out without hurting yourself.
What if my supermarket does not have avocados?
Most supermarkets in the vegetable area have a section that has prepackaged salsa, guacamole, and plain smooshed (smashed-up avocado). This also works to use as a spread instead of avocado slices if needed.

Extra Juicy Grilled Burgers with Avocado and Bleu Cheese
Ingredients
- 2 pounds ground beef regular
- 1 pound pork sausage ground sweet Italian
- 3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- ¼ cup white onion very finely minced
- 4 cloves garlic very finely minced
- 3 tablespoons fresh rosemary stems removed and leaves finely minced
- salt and pepper to taste
- Bleu cheese crumbled
- 8 hamburger buns lightly toasted*
Toppings:
- Leaf lettuce
- Tomato sliced
- Avocado sliced
Instructions
- Clean grill grates and spray with non-stick cooking spray. Pre-heat grill to high.
- Add ground beef, sausage, Worcestershire sauce, onion, garlic, and rosemary to a large glass bowl. Season with salt and black pepper, to taste, and combine thoroughly. Make sure both types of meat and all seasonings are completely incorporated throughout the mixture.
- Divide meat mixture into 8 equal parts and shape each part into ¾-inch thick patties. Place patties on a lined tray and use your thumb to create an indent in the middle to keep them from puffing up while cooking.
- Place patties over direct, high heat on your grill and cook for 8-10 minutes.
- Tip: Actual cooking time will depend on desired level of doneness, so check after 4-5 minutes and adjust final cook time accordingly. (According to the USDA, the safe internal temperature for ground beef and pork is 160°F. Use an instant read thermometer to confirm).
- Flip and move burgers to indirect heat 2-3 minutes before they are done. Top with blue cheese and close lid to allow cheese to melt completely.
- Transfer burgers to a platter and serve immediately on toasted hamburger buns and topped with lettuce, tomato, and avocado slices.
Notes
*To toast buns, brush the inside surface of each bun with the melted butter and place over indirect heat while the burgers are cooking.
