The Perfect Pork Burger Recipe - Unlike Beef It's Trans Fat Free image

A yummy, healthier version of my Perfect Burger recipe, which is made with beef. In an attempt to eliminate trans fats from our diet, my fiancee and I have discovered that almost ALL ground beef, extra lean or not, has trans fats! We went without burgers for months until we found trans-fat-free ground pork at our grocery. I've also recently discovered the wonders of paprika in just about everything, and came up with this slight variation for a healthier burger! My fiancee LOVES them, I make them at least once a week.

Time 15m

Yield 4-6 burgers, 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 lb ground lean pork
1 medium onion, finely chopped
2 eggs
8 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 1/2-2 cups oats
1 cup corn flake crumbs (or bread crumbs, but the cornflake crumbs hold it together better)
4 tablespoons mild paprika
1 -2 tablespoon garlic powder
ground pepper (to taste)
4 -6 whole grain buns

Steps:

  • Chop your onions while you preheat a non-stick frypan or barbeque at medium heat.
  • Place all ingredients in a large bowl, and mix thoroughly. I use my hands, but you can use a fork or spoon. Wear gloves for safety against bacteria and food-borne illnesses!
  • If you have to let the mixture sit, DO NOT mix in the oats and cornflake crumbs until just before you will cook them. Otherwise, the grains absorb too mcuh liquid and get mushy, making the mixture fall apart.
  • The mixture should hold together quite well and not crumble. If it does, you probably need a little more of the oats and cornflake crumbs.
  • Form the mixture into 4-6 patties (depending on the size of your buns). Keep in mind these do not shrink at much as beef burgers normally do - they hardly shrink at all actually.
  • Fry or barbeque on medium heat for a few minutes per side.
  • Garnish with your favourite toppings and enjoy!

Amazing recipe! The burgers were juicy and flavorful, and they cooked perfectly on my grill. I'll definitely be making these again.

Not bad, but nothing special. The burgers were a bit dry and the flavor was just okay.

Absolutely delicious! The pork burgers were moist and tender, and the flavor combination of the spices was spot-on. Will definitely be making these again soon.

These burgers were a disappointment. The meat was tough and chewy, and the flavor was just okay. I won't be making these again.

Solid 4 out of 5. The burgers were cooked to perfection, but the seasoning was a bit too salty for my taste.

These pork burgers were a hit at my last cookout! Everyone raved about how juicy and flavorful they were. Definitely a keeper recipe.

Meh, not impressed. A bit bland and overcooked. I'll stick to beef burgers in the future.

OMG, these burgers are amazing!!! So tender and juicy, with just the right amount of spice. I'll definitely be making these again.

A bit on the dry side, but overall not bad. I think next time I'll try adding some extra moisture, maybe with some Worcestershire sauce or melted cheese.

Not a huge pork fan, but these burgers were surprisingly delicious. Perfectly cooked and seasoned, with a smoky barbecue flavor that was out of this world.

An absolute game-changer, these pork burgers were juicy, succulent, and packed with flavor. I topped them with caramelized onions and blue cheese, and it was a taste sensation. Highly recommended!
