Grilled Ground Pork Burgers
These burgers are a fantastic alternative to traditional beef patties, offering a unique taste that pairs beautifully with a variety of toppings and sides. Let’s get started!
Ingredients:
- 1 pound ground pork
- 1/4 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 egg, beaten
- Burger buns, for serving
- Your choice of toppings (lettuce, tomato, cheese, etc.)
Instructions:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground pork, breadcrumbs, chopped onion, minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, and the beaten egg. Mix until the ingredients are just combined; avoid overmixing to keep the patties tender.
- Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape them into patties, ensuring they are slightly larger than your burger buns to allow for shrinkage while cooking.
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
- Place the patties on the grill and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they reach an internal temperature of 160°F (70°C).
- During the last minute of cooking, you can add cheese on top of the patties if desired and close the grill lid to melt the cheese.
- Remove the burgers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
- Assemble your burgers by placing the grilled patties on the buns and adding your favorite toppings.
