Another pork burger

Making:

Apple pork Burger with bacon and a side of vegetables.

1 serving prepared

Here's what I have:

1.5 cups Broccoli

1/4 cup Carrot

1/4 of an Apple sliced

1/4 cup White onion

1 tsp Worcestershire sauce

Spices about 1/4 tsp each

Paprika

Garlic powder

Onion powder

Brown sugar

Salt

Pepper

5 oz Ground pork

3 strips Bacon

Not pictured:

1 slice Mozzarella cheese

Mesquite BBQ sauce

Preparation:

The patty:

To make the burger mix I combined some apple onions along with a Worcestershire sauce and spices in a food processor and bllended them well. This mixture is combined with the meat until well mixed. And then set aside.

Next I began to boil some water and got a non-stick pan ready to cook the bacon.

Veggies and toppings:

Once the pan was hot I put the bacon in for about a minute and a half per side and then put them on a paper towel to dry.

Half of the rendered Bacon Fat was poured off of the pan and the onions were put in the pan with the oil to cook. The rest of the apple is added to the pan at this point and everything cook together until the onions are clear and the Apple was soft. I put these back into one of the ramekins and put the vegetables in the steamer basket once the water was boiling.

The burger:

While the vegetables were steaming I put some of the Bacon fat back into the nonstick pan and added the burger patty to it. The first side was cooked for 4 minutes, after turning and cooking for another four. The heat was turned off and I added a slice of mozzarella last minute and put the lid on to let the cheese melt. By the time this is done that the vegetables should be ready too.

During plating I decided to add some barbecue sauce as well, just because.

The plate!

I was trying to recapture the hellofresh alternate meal Burger I made a while back but I didn't have the same spices. This came out nice but was lacking in salt content. I didn't add enough for the size of the patty. Even so, it had pretty good flavor to it with the addition of the onion/apple mix and bacon.

Bonus!

Home made icecream for desert!

Bacon butter!

Making: Today I'll be making bacon butter. Whenever I make bacon I save the grease. Now that I have enough it will be turned into batches of bacon butter. I used about 2.75 sticks of butter total. Cut into jars then I let them sit until the butter was close to room temperature. The bacon fat I have collected (Stored in the refrigerator) was heated in bits over a double boiler until liquified but not too hot. The melted bacon fat was poured over the butter. You can use a strainer to get rid of and chunky bits and then mixed until well incorporated. The smaller jars have just over 3 oz butter. The bigger jar has 4.3 oz butter. Here are the finished jars. These will be stored in the fridge and used to cook veggies and sear meats. You could also put herbs in the jar for different flavors. - Kris
