I had a Ground Pork & Pesto Burger along with some Baked Crinkle Fries. The pesto mixed in with the Ground Pork is a perfect match! I had made up several of these and froze them. So after getting one from the freezer and thawing it out I fried the Burger in Extra Virgin Olive Oil about 4 minutes per side. It came out moist and juicy bursting with flavor. I topped it with Sauteed Baby Bella Mushrooms, a slice of Sargento Muenster Cheese and Reduced Kraft Mayo and served it on a Healthy Life Whole Grain Bun. I left the recipe at the end of the post. If you've never had a Ground Pork Burger you have to give them a try! As a side I had Baked Ore Ida Crinkle Fries. For dessert/snack later a 100 Calorie Mini Bag of Jolly Time Pop Corn.
