Smoky Porky Burgers
These days, most people barbecue all year round but summer is THE season for that! Just the smell of a BBQ triggers my appetite – my sense of smell 👃 is amazing so is the size of my stomach, lol!
Here are a few of my favorite BBQ recipes that I just “have” to make every year: Turkish Kebabs, Rotisserie Chicken, BBQ Pork Ribs, Grilled Fish Tacos, and many others…
Often, David and I were cycling 🚴♀️🚴♂️, and I was on a “detox” which means no food or drink, strictly my “juice”. Then, all of a sudden, I got a whiff of the smell of a BBQ, and that was it… my detox was out the window! David always loves to tease me about it – “She’s back on the ‘See Food, Eat Food’ diet”, as he likes to say. Right from the start, it takes so much willpower to be on a detox program, and I know I can do it, but when it comes to BBQ and the smell, I’m just powerless 😞!
There are certain food items that are sinfully delicious! One of them, and I’m sure you’ll agree, is BACON 🥓! A little bit of bacon makes a big difference in a recipe! The smokiness of it brings amazing flavor to any dish, like it does in these Smoky Porky Burgers… blame it on the bacon!
One comfort food I enjoy a lot is burgers! I like the combination of the toasted buns, grilled seasoned meat, and some yummy condiments to top everything off! This is what I call “a perfect bite”! Because summer is grilling 🔥 season, sharing another burger recipe like my Smoky Porky Burgers is something I just had to do!
I know, I know, the name is quite enticing, especially if you watch what you eat. But let’s be real here; this is one of those dishes you want to indulge in! It’s summer, it’s nice outside, and there’s nothing stopping you from enjoying a tasty burger 🍔 such as these Smoky Porky Burgers! Next time you want to fire up the BBQ and enjoy a super flavorful burger, don’t look any further, and give this recipe a try… it’s sinfully delicious!
