Pork burgers...

Morning All:

My much better half wanted to have pork burgers tonight so who am I to argue...had two pounds of ground pork...added some white Worcestershire and DP Mediterranean-ish...formed 4 half-pound patties (next time will probably do 6 as these were a bit too big)...here are the pork burgers on direct, raised grid dome temp 400...foil pouch has red tators with olive oil, DP Shaking the Tree & DP Mediterranean-ish...


Pulled the burgers when 145 to 150 internal...plated with the tators & corn...only put mayo & my BBQ sauce on mine (but put too much such that I ended up scraping the bun as it was too sloppy)...


Very tasty and big enough that only one was plenty (hence making slightly smaller next time).

Have a GREAT day!

    Jay, Pork Burgers are a weekly staple here, but we happen to have  a local slaughter house/butcher that has made a reputation for itself for their pork patties. I keep mine rather simple using DP Raging River rub, top with melted pepper jack cheese and grilled onions. The bottom bun half has Wild Boar Sauce. These are killer on the egg - I mean KILLER!!!

    Great looking grub brother. Pork makes for a great change when doing burgers. I can eat them till they run out of my ears. 

    Location- Just "this side" of Biloxi, Ms.

    The greatest barrier against all wisdom, the stronghold against knowledge itself, is the single thought, in ones mind, that they already have it all figured out.

    I agree! Guess that is why we never tire of them. Often when I mention pork burgers people will turn up their noses and say "I could NEVER eat a burger made of sausage" and then I correct them and explain that ground pork is another matter! Several years ago at the Peoria Eggfest I set out to make converts. Trouble was I only took 8 pork burgers and 8 buns which translated to only 32 servings. Those went in a jiffy and I should have cut them further to make at least 64. Oh well...
