Bub Burgers

Blame it on the packaging.... a cute little 1/2 pound of pork and a darling little 1/2 pound of beef separated by a sprig of parsley. I thought that the mixture would make a tasty alternative to burgers made completely from beef. I'm a sucker for things that come in either very large or very small packages; this is why I don't have a Costco membership.

The burgers were OK but the dressing I made to go with the arugula was great.

Ingredients:
- ½ pound of lean ground beef
- ½ pound of ground pork
- ¼ cup of finely diced onion, I used a sweet red onion
- 1 egg, lightly beaten
- 2 tablespoons of plain bread crumbs
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon freshly ground pepper

Mix everything together well in a medium bowl and form into 4 patties. Grill as you would a normal burger. Serve on a sesame seed bun and top with arugula and a dressing made of a couple of tablespoons of mayo, a little milk to thin the mayo, abut 1/4 cup of a crumbled creamy blue cheese and a chopped green onion/scallion (both green and white parts).
