Ingredients
- 1 lb ground pork
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 4 hamburger buns
- 4 slices of cheddar cheese
- BBQ sauce
- Lettuce, tomatoes, pickles (for serving)
Directions
- Start by preheating your grill or barbecue to a medium-high heat.
- While the grill is preheating, in a large bowl, combine the ground pork, chopped onion, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Mix everything together until well combined.
- Divide the mixture into four equal portions and form into loose balls. Don’t pack them too tightly, as this can make your burgers tough.
- Place the pork balls onto the hot grill and use a burger press or the back of a spatula to smash them down into a flat patty shape.
- Cook the burgers for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are well browned and cooked through.
- Just before the burgers are done cooking, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each one and close the grill lid for about a minute to allow the cheese to melt.
- As the cheese is melting, toast the hamburger buns on the grill for a minute or so until they are lightly toasted.
- Remove the burgers and buns from the grill. Assemble your burgers by placing a burger patty on each bun, and then topping with BBQ sauce, lettuce, tomatoes, and pickles as desired.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your BBQ Ground Pork Smash Burger!
Variations You Can Use
