The Succotash Salsa Sausage Burger

C

Hey everyone. I happen to surprise myself sometimes when I'm given some really strange ingredients. I have to credit my wife on this one though. She came up with the thought of mixing southern cuisine with meican ideals. What came out of it was a pretty spicy burger. Its ground pork with just about the whole arsenal of spices and herbs I could throw at it, then topped with a succotash salsa. The flavor was way intense and extremely spicy, but if that is something you like,you will love these things. Here are the ingredients that you will need.

1 lb ground pork
Italian seasoning
Garlic powder
Black pepper
Red pepper flake
onion salt
celery salt
Chili powder
Ground cumin
Kosher salt
Creole seasoning
1 can of succotash
1 can of rotel tomatoes with green chillis

Put pork in a mixing bowl with a mix of all the spices that are listed above, mix with hands, and form into 4 burgers. Place in a preheated oiled skillet and begin browning. While the sausage you just made is cooking your going to mix the can of succotash and rotel tomatoes together on medium heat and make the southern inspired succotash salsa. Once first side of patties are done flip and place on some slices of monterrey jack cheese. After the salsa cooks for about 5 minutes, remove salsa from heat. Place burgers on buns and top with the salsa. Very simple to cook and takes very little time. We had a bag of tortilla chips that we topped with some of the salsa. A really cold Dos Equis is great to wash this one down. Southern and mexican flavors combined with some good beer equals a pretty good meal. And get some extra napkins ready because these burgers have a pretty good kick and your nose and eyes will run. Enjoy!!
