Fennel Spiced Pork Burgers with Pepper and Provolone

I received a free trial subscription to the Real Simple magazine through a mailing list from Bed, Bath, and Beyond a few months ago. I received a few subscriptions and promptly cancelled it after my free year. It was not a horrible magazine, but it was not worth me paying money for it. I would open and sift through the pages and my eyes would catch on one or two photographs. I would shrug and turn the page. All of their solutions and ideas were a little too expensive for my budget. 

Then one day I was flipping through the pages of a recent issue (June perhaps?), and there was a section called Top This!: Six Blockbuster Burgers. A pork burger with roasted red peppers and provolone caught our attention. 

I have to give my husband full credit for this creation. The only thing that I did was plate the hamburger buns, salt the onions, and make our side (which was thyme roasted sweet potatoes). 

This burger is a meal for the day. You can make them smaller, but we made ½ pounders because Brad was in charge of these meal. He wanted a MEAL.

Close your eyes. Imagine picking up a burger that is heavy in your hand. Your fingertips slightly sink into the bun and juice drips and splashes onto your plate. You don’t even think about biting it because it just happens. Juice runs down your chin. Toppings inside the burger slide around. You don’t notice those things. Instead, you are solely focused on the explosion of grilled meat, peppers, and onions that have overrun your mouth with a symphony of flavor and sticky cheese. That is how good this is. 

The recipe is located on the Real Simple website. Please visit for a momentary meal of awesome.
