Swine time burgers.

I was planning to make some pasta sauce this weekend and the weather was great today so I made a couple burgers with some of my ground pork and a bit of a pulled pork i have in the freezer. Here they are.


I gave them a season with a shallot LLwP mustard powder sage and thyme.


Mixed it up and let them rest in the fridge while I had a cold beverage. After a half hour I formed my patties.


One more with my chunk of sorta sausage for my sauce tomorrow.


Threw it on the Traeger at 325 running my apple maple combo. Forgot to get a pic when they went on but i got one at the flip with my bacon, buns and some goat cheese on the burgers.

That pic is not great but this one hardly has the burgers in it.


10 more minutes and they were ready to go. Mine got plated up with some arugula and a sliced up granny smith along with some fries.


One more for good measure.


Poured a tall glass of moo juice and chowed down. In all it was a great burger though I was a bit heavy handed with the goat cheese. Anyhow thanks for looking guys.

Sorry about the picture quality I was fighting with my camera.

Looks like some fine swine!

That swine is divine.

Oh man does that look good. I can almost smell the smoky goodness!

Combining the ground pork & pulled pork already had my attention, but topping it off with the apples to play against the goat cheese & arugula is pure genius.


Then you topped it off with bacon - I want one!

Thanks guys. I think of all the cooks I have posted on this forum, this one got the one single most enthusiastic response from any one person. Thanks very much Cliff I am glad that you think it is a good idea. Please give it a try, I cant wait to see your version of it.
