Indianapolis Colts Fried Pork Burger
I’d never heard of the fried pork tenderloin sandwich until I started doing research for my Colts inspired burger. Now technically, I guess this isn't a burger, as it's not ground meat, but I gave it try, found the fried pork sando to be absolutely awesome, and frankly didn’t change much. I'm hoping the Colts fans forgive my bit of cheating.To make the burger, I marinated a piece of pork tenderloin which I pounded out thinly. After the marinade, I seasoned & breaded it in a normal breading station....and then the best part, fried it up. It was damn tasty served on a hamburger bun with some mayo, pickles, onion, tomato, and lettuce.Ingredients

- Buttermilk
- Flour

- Cut the pork tenderloin into 3-inch pieces.
