Onion cheddar pork burgers are likely to become one of your favorite burger creations!
Handsome and I have recently gotten ourselves knee deep into a new hobby. One I would have never imagined myself doing alone - Mountain biking.
Every weekend and on weeknights where one of us doesn't have school or work, we load up the truck with out two new Cannondale bikes, our silly sport apparel, and helmets and head out. We have discovered several great trails at some local Maryland and Delaware state parks that each offer something different and enjoyable for our rides. The guys at Wooden Wheels bike shop in Newark have been great to us as well, helping us pick out new bikes that work for us and recommending new websites and trails for us to try as well.
The best part about this whole shindig is that I would never have decided to pick up a bike and trek out into muddy paths with exposed rocks and roots all by myself - let alone break a sweat. Don't get me wrong, I have no problem getting muddy, I just wouldn't have chosen a 'push myself' sport if left to my own devices. With Handsome pedaling ahead, my naturally competitive nature kicks things up a notch and I am more willing to push myself. It's been interesting learning how to maneuver a bike through tight trails. Not exactly as easy as the expression about riding a bike would make it seem. I have been struggling a little this week since I still have a sinus thing going on, but I am looking forward to where this new found love of mountain biking takes us.
When we get home and are starving after a long day at work and a few miles on the trails, we grill up onion cheddar pork burgers!

How fun to have such an activity to do together! These burgers are ridiculously tempting!
Curt says
That sounds awesome. I love stuffed burgers, and the onion sauce really sounds great.
Awesome photo by the way. I really need a better camera! I can't even fix my photos in Photoshop.
Kita says
Photoshop can be a royal pain to learn. I have used it for years in graphic design and still don't know the half of it.
Beth Michelle says
These burgers sound ridiculous! That photo with the cheese melting out, so amazing. Will have to try these for sure.
Carolyn says
Now that's a great looking burger. It's getting chilly here but the weather is still nice enough to grill out.
Tes says
Wow the burgers look super delicious 🙂 The pictures make me very hungry right now!
Brooks at Cakewalker says
This is what I call a flavor-packed burger! The ingredients to the photos illustrate the reward of devouring one (or two) of these after a mountainous trek on the bike. Good going girl!
Kita says
I can eat like a fat kid and even I wasn't able to eat two of these! If you can pull that off, I will bow down to the master 😀
Samantha @ Ferraro Kitchen says
Those creamy onions look insane! Love the cheese oozing out...

Diane says
I think I would love to try these!! You are bringing out the explorer in me. They look so tasty!
Stephanie @ Eat. Drink. Love. says
These burgers look delicious! I've never had a pork burger, but it looks like it was the perfect way to unwind after a long day of work and a bike ride!
Eliot says
These look delish! I think I would push myself if I knew these were at the end of the trail.
Cassie @ Bake Your Day says
Mountain biking sounds like a great hobby. And these burgers sound so good. I love all of the flavors. I have never made burgers out of ground pork, I will have to try it soon, these look amazing.
Katie says
We need to get our bikes out! Those burgers are gorgeous... And the onions...
Laurie @SimplyScratch says
Ooooh you stuffed yours with cheese! Love that!
Steph@stephsbitebybite says
This just made me want to give up running and start biking! LOL!!!!
Kita says
We curse at every horseback rider that comes by - I'm sure every runner curses those of us on bikes! I give it up to anyone who is out there breaking a sweat!
Christine says
Awesome burger.
Nami | Just One Cookbook says
Gosh.. your burgers look so good!!! We don't make burgers enough at home. We always go to a gourmet burger place and order over-priced burger. I feel like I can make it at home using your recipes!! Thanks for sharing. You gave me a hope! 😉
Kita says
I believe home is the only place for a great burger! There is so much more you can do with then then at a restaurant! Try them!
Ann says
The burgers look delicious! Mountain biking.....who knew?!
