Tip: Burgers are always a good choice for the grill, but change things up a little from the usual beef burgers. Seasoned ground pork, turkey or chicken (or vegetarian varieties) can provide a delicious alternative. Up your veggie intake with yummy grilled peppers & onions.
INGREDIENTS
1½ lb seasoned ground high quality pork (ex: Berkshire, Duroc)
4 awesome burger buns (choose from your favorite local bakery)
2 Tbsp butter, melted
4 slices white cheddar cheese
12-16 bread & butter pickles
1 red bell pepper, sliced in thin strips
1 green bell pepper, sliced in thin strips
1 medium red onion, sliced thinly
2 Tbsp olive oil
½ tsp each, sea salt & fresh ground black pepper
Spicy brown mustard (optional)
