Pork & Apple Burgers with Sweet & Spicy Bayou Beans - Fix it Fast Meal Solution #1

We are now starting on a new solution kit and I've already done two recipes and were they quick and tasty.

This recipe has a bonus recipe with it - the side dish.  Both items were great!   We didn't eat the burgers as a sandwich but served the beans over the top of the patty (as shown in my picture).

I substituted ground turkey for the ground pork and a can of red kidney beans for the chili beans.  I also left off the onions.

Ingredients (Pork & Apple Burgers):

1 1/2 lbs ground pork
1 small Granny Smith apple, cored & grated
1 C shredded Cheddar cheese
3 Tbsp Bayou Bourbon Glaze
1 Tbsp Onion Onion seasoning
1 Tbsp Avocado oil
1 large onion, thinly sliced 
6 hamburger buns, toasted
6 Tbsp Vidalia Onion Dressing

Instructions:  

Prepare grill to medium heat.  In large bowl, combine first 5 ingredients; salt and pepper to taste.  Form into 6 patties.


Place patties on grill.  Grill, turning once, until internal temperature reaches 165 degrees on an instant-read food thermometer, about 10-12 minutes.

Meanwhile, in large skillet, heat Avocado Oil over medium heat.  Add onions; salt and pepper to taste.  Saute until lightly golden, about 8-10 minutes, or until desired doneness.

Place burgers on toasted buns and top with sauteed onions and drizzle with Vidalia Onion Dressing.

Makes 6 burgers.  Serve with Sweet & Spicy Bayou Beans (recipe below).

Make Ahead & Freeze:  Prepare patties and place in a gallon resealable freezer bag between layers of wax paper.  Seal well, label and freeze.  Thaw completely.  Prepare as directed above.


Sweet & Spicy Bayou Beans Ingredients:

1/2 lb bacon, chopped
1 15 oz can chili beans, undrained 
1 15 oz can pinto beans, rinsed & drained
1 15 oz can black beans, rinsed & drained
1/4 c Bayou Bourbon Glaze
1 Tbsp Onion Onion Seasoning
1 tsp Dijon mustard
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper, optional

Instructions:

In large saucepan over medium-high heat, saute bacon until crisp; remove to paper towels.  Drain off drippings.


Add remaining ingredients to pan.  Bring to a simmer.  Simmer 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Remove from heat.  Stir in bacon.

Makes 8  (1/2 cup) servings.
