Sweet and Savoury Pork Bacon Burgers
with Herby Fries and Dijonnaise
Everyone loves a good hamburger, but this one may just change the game! Maple and thyme make pork shine, while ketchup and Dijonnaise act as major flavour boosters. Throw in a fresh apple-spinach salad and some herby potato wedges, and you'll be second-guessing that classic beef burger next time you have a craving.

Cooking Steps
- Strip thyme leaves from stems, then roughly chop.
- Halve potatoes lengthwise, then cut into 1/4-inch slices.
- To an unlined baking sheet, add potatoes and 1 tbsp oil. Season with half the thyme, half the garlic salt and pepper, then toss to coat. (NOTE: For 4 servings, use 2 baking sheets, with 1 tbsp oil per sheet.)
- Roast in the middle of the oven, for 22-24 min, flipping halfway through, until tender and golden. (NOTE: For 4 servings, roast in the middle and the top of the oven, rotating sheets halfway through.)
- Meanwhile, cut bacon strips in half, crosswise.
- Arrange in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Roast bacon in the top of the oven for 8-12 min, until crispy and cooked through.**
- Meanwhile, to a small bowl, add Dijon and mayo, then stir to combine.
- To a medium bowl, add pork, breadcrumbs, half the maple syrup, remaining thyme and remaining garlic salt. Season with pepper, then mix to combine.
- Form mixture into two 4-inch wide patties (4 patties for 4 servings). (TIP: If you prefer a firmer patty, add an egg to mixture.)
- Heat a large non-stick pan over medium.
- When the pan is hot, add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil, then patties. Pan-fry for 4-5 min per side, until cooked through,**
- Meanwhile, core, then cut apple into 1/4-inch slices.
- To a large bowl, add vinegar, remaining maple syrup and 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil, then whisk to combine.
- Add baby spinach and apples. Season with salt and pepper, then toss to combine.
- Halve buns, then arrange on another unlined baking sheet, cut-side up.
- Toast in the top of the oven for 3-5 min, until golden. (TIP: Keep an eye on buns so they don't burn.) (NOTE: For 4 servings, add buns to the top baking sheet with fries.)
- Spread dijonnaise over buns. Stack bottom buns with some salad mix, bacon, patties, then top buns.
- Divide burgers, herby fries and remaining salad between plates.
- Serve ketchup alongside for dipping.
If you've opted to add bacon, cut bacon strips in half, crosswise, then arrange in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Roast bacon in the top of the oven for 8-12 min, until crispy and cooked through.**
