Double Pork Pork Burgers Recipe
A Sunday night a couple of weeks ago I was hungry for burgers, but wanted something out of the ordinary and came across this recipe for pork burgers stuffed with bacon, Hello!
What an ingenious idea because here’s the thing with pork, if not cooked just so it can be dry, but bacon, as we all know, is more or less smoky fat, so ironically, bacon is always pork’s best friend and these burgers are no exception.
At first glance this seems like a butt-load (is that a scientific term?) of fennel seeds, but they were delicious. I will admit I am a huge fan of fennel so if you’re not you can always cut it in half or omit it from the recipe.
