Ground Pork Burger w/ Baked Fries

Dinner Tonight: Ground Pork Burger w/ Baked Fries

It's been a cold and rainy day here all day. Possible snow flurries the next couple of days, come on Mother Nature enough is enough! Had to go the bank and then pick up a few groceries for Mom and back home, miserable outside. For dinner tonight I prepared a Ground Pork Burger w/ Baked Fries.

I had bought a 1 lb. package of Kroger Ground Pork at Kroger a couple of weeks ago and made 5 Pork Burgers out of it, freezing them. I grabbed one out of the freezer and let it thaw in the fridge overnight. To prepare it I seasoned it McCormick Grinder Sea salt and Black Peppercorn. Then pan fried it in a small skillet in Extra Virgin Olive Oil, 4 1/2 minutes per side. Served it on a Kroger Lite Wheat Bun and topped it with a slice of Simple Truth Muenster Cheese. The Ground Pork is always so moist and flavorful, again Kroger has some of the best Pork Products around. I also baked some Ore Ida Simply Cracked Black Pepper and Sea Salt Country Style Fries, with a side of Hunt's Ketchup for dipping. I also had some Teriyaki Marinated Mushrooms on the side. For dessert later a Jello Sugar Free Dark Chocolate Pudding.

Ground Pork Burger w/ Baked Fries

Dinner Tonight: Ground Pork Burger w/ Baked Fries

A break from the snow today and not real cold today. But it looks as though we are in for a week of cold weather, below zero a few mornings and below freezing all week. Did a few chores indoor and then outside clearing the driveway, again! Got most of slush and snow off and salted it . I wanted to get all I could off before the big freeze tomorrow. After that settled in for a day of NASCAR and College Basketball. For dinner tonight it's a Ground Pork Burger w/ Baked Fries.






I bought a 1 lb. package of Kroger Ground Pork at Kroger the other day and made 5 Pork Burgers out of it, freezing 4 of them and having one for my dinner tonight. I seasoned it McCormick Grinder Sea salt and Black Peppercorn. Then pan fried it in a small skillet in Extra Virgin Olive Oil, 4 1/2 minutes per side. Served it on a Healthy Life Whole Grain Bun and topped it with a slice of Simple Truth Muenster Cheese. The Ground Pork is always so moist and flavorful, again Kroger has some of the best Pork Products around. I also baked some Ore Ida Steak Fries, served with a side of Hunt's Ketchup.
