Bunless Pork Burgers

Pork Burger with Cheese

This is more of a recipe idea than a recipe. It’s just TOO simple to call a recipe but these pork patties served with your favorite burger condiments will really hit the spot!

Either ground your own pork (butt & shoulder work well) or buy ground pork. Keep the seasoning simple – salt & pepper. Decide on your patty size. 1/4 pound? 1/3 pound? 1/2 pound? Whatever you do, make sure there’s a nice depression in the middle of the patty so that when it cooks, it doesn’t bulge into a lenticular shape. Instead, it will bulge to a flat patty.

Cook to desired level of doneness (got bacon fat stashed away?) and serve over some nice lettuce. Tomatoes? Mustard? Cheese? Hot sauce? Whatever you like on your burger, be smart & watch the sugars. Even a modest amount of ketchup MAY be ok – depending on your tolerance for such things, but seriously…. Ketchup????

As you can see above, I like mine with cheese. Coach Loli had hers with some mustard. We both enjoyed some Bubbies Pickles and onions.
