Homemade on a Weeknight

Bavarian Burgers

Jump to Recipe

I often get my crazy burger creation ideas when I am eating other meals. This one is no exception. I was having a Weissewurst from a food truck at our county fair. It had a delicious sausage with ground pork, dill, and garlic along with a delicious stone ground mustard. Bavarian Burgers turned out to be a home run on a pretzel bun! You can check out this and over 60 other burger creations in my newest cookbook – Burgers on a Weeknight, now available for order.

If you have never tried a stone ground mustard, you have got to give it a try. Ingelhoeffer makes an incredible variety of Original Stone Ground Mustard. It is an unusual flavor but goes together so well with the ground pork and dill. The pretzel bun holds it all together to make you feel like you are walking a Bavarian Boulevard.

To go full Bavarian – I served this with my Warm Potato Salad and it was a match made in heaven. The classic burger and fries in a German light. The deliciousness of the potato salad comes from the no mayo, mustard sauce. Along with the bacon and scallions, it goes with much more than these burgers.
