Ground Pork Pesto Burger w/ Green Beans

Today’s Menu: Ground Pork Pesto Burger w/ Green Beans



Love these Ground Pork Burgers the taste is fantastic, the pesto mixed in with the Pork is a perfect match! I fried the Burger in Extra Virgin Olive Oil about 4 minutes per side. Comes out moist and juicy bursting with flavor. I topped it with some reduced Kraft Mayo and a slice of Smoked Gouda Cheese and served it on a Healthy Life Whole Grain Bun. I left the recipe at the end of the post.  As a side I had Green Beans. A bit different for a side for a Burger but it just sounded good! Green Beans are my favorite Veggie.  i also had a bottle of the new Snapple Drink, Half and Half Iced Tea & Lemonade Diet Snapple. Really liked it, has a fantastic flavor. Plus it's only 10 calories and 0 carbs! For dessert later a Yoplait Delight 100 Calorie Chocolate Eclair Parfait.
