The Not hamburger Burger

My husband is the most amazing man.  I know, I've said it before, but he is.  Being allergic to all things cow, I have been missing things like cheese, chocolate and his dad's famous Back Yard Burgers.  This week, he came up with an  awesome recipe for burgers that go great on the grill so I am not left out at family cook outs anymore.  Straight ground pork just doesn't seem to ever get enough flavor from seasonings, so he's added a 'secret ingredient'.  He bought a package of hickory smoked bacon!  After putting it through the food pro, he added it to 2 lb of plain ground pork.  The bacon gave it a very nice smoky, (almost bbq) flavor and I completely forgot about beef at that point!  Trust me, saying that, from a former Texan point of view, is not something you will normally hear.  My favorite food on earth has always been a nice bit of beef and potato in most any form.


1 pkg bacon (your favorite)
2 lbs plain ground pork
no extra seasonings (doesn't need anything at all)

This recipe makes 8-12 burgers depending on how thick you make them.  Dad's Backyard Burgers are thick, so it made 8 for us.
