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

  1. Start by preheating your grill or barbecue to a medium-high heat.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. Cook the burgers for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are well browned and cooked through.
  6. 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.
  7. As the cheese is melting, toast the hamburger buns on the grill for a minute or so until they are lightly toasted.
  8. 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.
  9. Serve immediately and enjoy your BBQ Ground Pork Smash Burger!

Variations You Can Use

For a healthier option, you can use lean ground beef, turkey, or chicken.

If you want to add a little extra kick, try adding some chopped jalapenos or some chili powder to the patty mixture.
