Fried Green Tomato Burgers
Fried Green Tomato Burgers | A wonderful Southern burger with tangy fried green tomatoes, bacon and a drizzle of thousand island dressing.
Start with fresh from the garden green tomatoes! Summers not over yet. I’m still picking tomatoes. I decided to make burgers for dinner and headed out to the garden to pick a beautiful red tomato but instead decided to pick a couple green ones! If you have never had fried green tomatoes then this burger will be a real treat! I love the tang the tomatoes offer. Drizzling on some thousand island dressing reminds me of a diner burger.
