Bacon-Wrapped Pork and Apple Patties

Be sure not to overmix ground meat. The applesauce helps keep these burgers moist and flavorful. And remind diners to be mindful of the toothpicks. Serve with Sliced Tomatoes Vinaigrette and Peppery Potato Salad.

Serves: 4
Cook Time: 5 Minutes

Ingredients

• 1 pound Smithfield Lean Ground Pork
• 3/4 cup quick-cooking rolled oats
• 1/2 teaspoon ground sage
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme, crushed
• 1/3 cup applesauce
• 1 egg, slightly beaten
• 1/4 cup minced green onion
• 4 slices bacon
• 1 large tart green apple, cored and cut in thin wedges
• 1/2 medium onion, cut in small wedges
• 1 tablespoon olive oil

Steps

In a large bowl combine oats, sage, salt, pepper, and thyme. Stir in applesauce, egg and green onion; mix well. Stir in ground pork until well blended. Form into 4 patties about 3/4 to 1-inch thick. Wrap a bacon strip around each patty; secure with a toothpick. Grill or broil 4-5 minutes on each side.

Meanwhile in a small skillet, cook and stir apples and onions in hot oil until tender. Sprinkle lightly with salt. Serve with patties

I made these for dinner last night and they were very good. I would definitely make these again. They were so easy to make. I did cook mine a little longer than it said, but I also think my pork patties might have been larger than average.
