Provided by chef blade

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 1h

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 lb ground lean pork
1 cup finely crushed saltine
1/4 cup chopped green onion
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1 tablespoon creole mustard
2 tablespoons barbecue sauce
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon dried thyme
2 teaspoons rubbed sage

Steps:

  • Mix all ingredients.
  • Form into 4-5 equal size patties.
  • Re-chill for 30 minutes.
  • Grill over charcoal.
  • Baste with the same bbq used in the mix when burgers are halfway done.

Tips:

  • Choose the right pork: Use a flavorful cut of pork, such as pork shoulder or pork butt. These cuts have a good amount of marbling, which will help keep the burgers moist and juicy.
  • Grind the pork yourself: If possible, grind the pork yourself at home. This will ensure that the burgers are made with fresh, high-quality meat.
  • Season the pork well: Don't be afraid to season the pork liberally. A good combination of spices includes salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and smoked paprika.
  • Chill the pork before cooking: Chilling the pork before cooking will help the burgers hold their shape and cook evenly.
  • Cook the burgers over medium heat: Cooking the burgers over medium heat will help prevent them from drying out.
  • Use a meat thermometer: The best way to ensure that the burgers are cooked to perfection is to use a meat thermometer. The internal temperature of the burgers should reach 160 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the burgers rest before serving: Let the burgers rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the burgers, making them even more flavorful.

Conclusion:

Pepper Jack pork burgers are a delicious and easy-to-make meal. They are perfect for a summer cookout or a casual weeknight dinner. With a few simple tips, you can make sure that your pepper Jack pork burgers are juicy, flavorful, and cooked to perfection.
