I never need an excuse to make a recipe that Dave posts on Old Dave’s Po-Farm. That’s why when I saw these porkburgers I was all over them. I knew they’d be as fantastic as Dave said, and they were that and more. You’ll totally re-think the old beef burger for sure. Tender, juicy and packed with flavor. This recipe makes 12 burgers, which might seem like a lot but they’ll be gone so fast you’ll probably want to double it.
Don’t Hide The Patties
I didn’t go crazy with toppings for our porkburgers. The patties are so flavorful that I didn’t want to hide them. Just a bit of lettuce, tomato, onion, mayo and yellow mustard and that’s it. No cheese required. Nothing that overpowers the fantastic pork patties. They are the start of the show.
Do make sure that you mix the ingredients for the patties and let them sit in the fridge overnight. You’ll get a lot more flavor if you don’t rush your porkburgers.
For a tropical twist, try my Hawaiian pork burgers too!
