    Grilled Ground Pork Burgers

    Grilled-Ground-Pork-Burgers

     

    Sometimes I want something different than our regular hamburgers. I had a package of ground pork in the freezer so I asked my husband if he wanted me to make pork burgers, and he asked me if I was going to put cracker dust in them, at which point I remembered I had made them that way before, but didn't care for them. I thought they were too dry. So I looked up a few recipes, already knowing that I was going to put Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper in them like I do when I make ground beef burgers, and came across one that had bacon in the mixture! You know my love of bacon, right? If you don't this is probably your first time visiting here. I showed the recipe to the husband and told him I was going to adapt one from The Food Network, and he agreed, so off to the kitchen I went.

    I loved the addition of bacon in them, I thought it gave them a fabulous flavor. I think a smoked bacon would give them a nice, smoky flavor and would be great on the grill once we bring out the grill for the first time this season. I cooked them on the stove in my ribbed cast iron pan this time, but I'm sure we will be grilling soon, at least by Memorial Day!

        Hi Connie, I'm sorry I missed your question yesterday. I hope they came out good! I would have put the Worcestershire sauce in with the ground pork mixture.

      First time grilling these . Delicious !! I grilled them on aluminum foil . Once they were done , I moved them directly to the grill and browned them a little . Very flavorful and juicy ❤️
