Homemade Pork Chop Burgers (Meal Prep)
These pork chop burgers are fast enough for the busiest weeknights, kid-approved, very satisfying, and packed with nutrients.
Ingredients
- 4 burger buns (opt for sugar-free)
- 4 pork chops (cooked in advance)
- 8 teaspoon mayonnaise (sugar-free)
- 4 teaspoon sugar-free tomato paste
- ½ tablespoon olive oil or butter
- 1 cup leafy greens (adjust the amount, if preferred)
- 2 medium fresh tomatoes
- 4 medium pickles (or fresh cucumber)
- 4-8 slices cheese (Cheddar, Mozzarella, or similar)
- ½ teaspoon salt (for seasoning)
Instructions
- Cut burger buns in half, place onto a baking sheet along with pork chops, and heat in a preheated oven for 5 minutes.
- Wash and dry tomatoes and leafy greens.
- Slice the tomatoes, cheese, and the pickles.
- Assemble the burgers: Spoon some mayonnaise and a sugar-free tomato paste onto both halves of the burger buns. Then, assemble the burgers with all the ingredients in your preferred order.
Notes
- Avoid placing the cheese next to the heated meat so it melts beautifully and you get to enjoy an authentic burger experience.
- Add some chilis (or chili sauce/powder/paste) for a spicier version.
- Swap mayonnaise with basil pesto and pair it with Mozzarella cheese for a more refined taste.
