I'm hooked on these Ground Pork Pesto Burgers! I used a 93/7 Blend of Ground Pork and added Italian Style Bread Crumbs, Basil Pesto Sauce to make the patties. I seasoned them with Sea salt and Ground Black Pepper. Fried in Extra Virgin Olive Oil, about a half a tablespoon. Served on a Healthy Life Whole Grain Bun. Topped it with a little Kraft Reduced Fat Mayo w/ Olive Oil and a slice of Hardwood Smoked Gouda Cheese. I left the recipe for this and a Apple Mayo, that used last time, at the end of the post. I had Baked Ore Ida Steak Fries as a side. Maybe just some 2% Cheese and Wheat Crackers for a snack later tonight.
