Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Meat & Poultry     Pork Recipes     Ground Pork Recipes

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 1/2 pounds ground pork
1 small red onion, minced, plus slices for serving
3/4 cup store-bought or homemade barbecue sauce
Coarse salt and ground pepper
Vegetable oil, for grates
4 soft onion rolls, split horizontally

Steps:

  • Heat grill to medium-high. In a medium bowl, place pork, minced onion, 1/4 cup barbecue sauce, 1 teaspoon coarse salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Mix very gently with a fork to combine, being careful not to overwork meat (which would make burgers dense).
  • Gently form meat into 4 equal-size patties, 4 inches in diameter and 1 inch thick. With thumb, make a 1/2-inch-deep indentation in the center of each (this helps keep burgers flat during grilling).
  • Moisten a folded paper towel with oil; grasp with tongs and rub over grates. Season burgers with salt and pepper; grill until cooked throughout, 5 to 8 minutes per side.
  • Serve on onion rolls (toasted on grill, if you like), with sliced onion and remaining barbecue sauce.

Time 25m

Yield 4 burgers

Number Of Ingredients 9

5 slices bacon
1 clove garlic, minced
1 pound ground pork
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1/4 teaspoon dried rubbed sage
Freshly ground pepper
4 potato buns, split
Unsalted butter, softened, for spreading
Coleslaw, for topping

Steps:

  • Pulse the bacon and garlic in a food processor until coarsely ground.
  • Combine the ground pork, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper and the sage in a large bowl. Add the bacon mixture and gently mix with your hands. Gently form the meat into 4 balls, then lightly press into 4-inch-wide, 1-inch-thick patties. Make a 2-inch-wide indentation in the center of each with your thumb to prevent the burgers from bulging when grilled.
  • Preheat a grill to medium high. Season the patties with pepper. Grill, undisturbed, until marked on the bottom, 5 to 6 minutes. Turn and grill until the other side is marked and the patties feel firm, 4 to 6 more minutes. Meanwhile, spread the cut sides of the buns with butter and toast on the grill.
  • Serve the patties on the buns; top with coleslaw.

  • Grind the pork yourself: If you can, grind the pork yourself at home. This will give you more control over the texture of the burgers.
  • Season the pork well: Don't be afraid to season the pork liberally. A good blend of spices will help give the burgers tons of flavor.
  • Cook the burgers over medium heat: Cooking the burgers over medium heat will help prevent them from drying out.
  • Don't overcook the burgers: The burgers are done cooking when they reach an internal temperature of 160 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the burgers rest: Before serving, let the burgers rest for a few minutes. This will help the juices redistribute and make the burgers more tender.
