    I'm going to make burgers tomorrow with ground beef and pork.

    What kind of pork do you use?

    I get most of my meat right from the farm. The beef is grassfed and the pork and poultry are pastured, organic. The pork is heritage, Berkshire and mulefoot breeds, very tasty and unlike conventional pork. It is darker in colour and has a much richer flavour than regular farmed pork. However, I ran out of ground pork, so had to buy some conventional pork today. If I have to go to the store, I try to buy the least harmful, ie, if it can't be organic and pastured, I'll get the kind that claims to be hormone free etc.

    For burgers, I use ground meat, so will use 2/3 ground grass fed beef and 1/3 ground pork. For this year's farm subscription, I ordered extra ground beef and pork, so soon will have the best and won't have to buy extra ground pork at the store.

    that sounds absolutely delicious! the only way to make it even better is to do 1/3 beef, 1/3 veal, and 1/3 pork. OMG! So tender and juicy.

    For those of you who eat Frankenfoods like I do, The Great Low Carb Bread Company makes hamburger buns that are 2 net carbs. Helps keep all the bacon, cheese, avocado & salsa on one's burger.

    If you mean like a side dish, I like mine with egg salad or Cole Slaw made with Splenda.

    Friday night I had a burger (just ground beef made into a patty and fried). Topped with a slice of cheese, some bacon, and an egg. Drizzled sugar free barbeque sauce over the top. It was perfect :)

    Interesting. You guys call the meat IN the burger a burger itself? It's not a burger without buns here.

    I do, but I suppose technically the burger without a bun is a ground beef patty.

    Why not slice the meat patty in half and make that the bun....and put your toppings and cheese in the middle ? Then maybe you could call it a burger ?

    I call the meat patties burgers even without the bun. And we ate them just like burgers, but without the bun.

    Or, if you have those thin, flat (kinda sad) patties, you can use two that way. I've done that before, works out well.

    Since I eat it just like I would with a bun - topped with cheese, mayo, and bacon, usually -- I still call it a burger, too (besides, ground beef is, itself, generally referred to as hamburger, so there's that, too).

    I used to be a ketchup, mustard, pickle, tomato only person on burgers. In trying to help my guy use up the ketchup, I happened upon an idea triggered by a discussion with my BFF.

    1 tsp or less ketchup
    1 tsp mustard (normal yellow kind is fine)
    1-2 TBSP mayo

    Mix up and slather on your burger. You get a teeny bit of the sweet from the ketchup, tang from the ketchup and mustard, and fatty goodness from the mayo.

    Add some pickle slices on a burger slathered with extra sharp cheese and I'm in heaven...

    Sriracha mayo is also good for spice - 1 tsp sriracha to 5 TBSP or so of mayo, to taste.

    And if I'm out and about, I love just mayo and mustard in near equal parts slathered on a good burger, with or without cheese.


    LOL - when I first read this, I thought you were going to ask about what side dishes to have. I was going to say....

    I like my burger with a side of burger!

    Lol. I'm from the South; we generalize everything here. Like, anything remotely carbonated is Coke.

    My burger goes like this: bbq'd with Montreal steak spice, topped with cheddar cheese, red onion, tomato, dill pickle, mayo, mustard and wrapped in the outer leaves of an Iceberg lettuce.
