Ingredients

  • 1 cup (250 mL) seasoned whole grain croutons
  • 1 lb (500 kg) ground lean Ontario Pork
  • 1/4 cup (50 mL) low-fat creamy Caesar salad dressing
  • 2 tbsp (25 mL) each grated cheese and finely minced Ontario Onion
  • 4 whole grain burger buns, cut in half horizontally
  • 4 slices Ontario Bacon, cooked and drained on paper towel
  • 4 large Ontario Lettuce leaves
  • 1 large Ontario Tomato, sliced

Instructions

Place croutons in a zipper-lock bag and crush finely. In a large bowl, lightly mix together crumbs, pork, 2 tbsp (25 mL) of the Caesar dressing, cheese and onion. Form into four 3/4 inch (2 cm) thick patties.

Pre-heat barbecue to medium heat. Place patties on greased grill. Grill 4 to 5 minutes on each side, until no longer pink in the centre and digital thermometer inserted sideways into the centre reads 160°F (71°C). Place patties on bottom halves of buns, top with remaining Caesar dressing, bacon slices, lettuce leaves, tomato slices and bun tops.
