BBQ Pork Burgers
Ingredients:
- For the burgers:
- 1 pound ground pork
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup barbecue sauce (your favorite brand)
- 1 egg
- 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- For the BBQ sauce:
- 1 cup barbecue sauce
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- For serving:
- Burger buns
- Coleslaw (optional)
- Pickles (optional)
- Extra BBQ sauce
- Lettuce, tomato, and onion slices (optional)
Instructions:
- Prepare the Burger Patties:
- In a large bowl, combine the ground pork, breadcrumbs, barbecue sauce, egg, chopped onion, minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.
- Mix until all ingredients are well combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the burgers tough.
- Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape them into patties.
- Cook the Burger Patties:
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375-400°F) or heat a grill pan over medium-high heat.
- Lightly oil the grill grates or grill pan.
- Grill the patties for about 5-6 minutes per side, or until they reach an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C). This ensures the pork is fully cooked.
- During the last minute of cooking, brush the tops of the patties with a little extra BBQ sauce.
- Prepare the BBQ Sauce:
- In a small saucepan, combine the barbecue sauce, honey, apple cider vinegar, and smoked paprika.
- Heat over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until the sauce is warmed through and well combined. This will take about 5 minutes.
- Assemble the Burgers:
- Toast the burger buns on the grill for about 1-2 minutes, or until lightly browned.
- Place a pork patty on the bottom half of each bun.
- Top with additional BBQ sauce, coleslaw, pickles, and any other desired toppings such as lettuce, tomato, and onion.
- Place the top half of the bun on the burger.
- Serve:
- Serve the BBQ Pork Burgers immediately with your favorite sides such as fries, chips, or a side salad.
