Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground pork
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 4 Whole wheat burger buns
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 4 Lettuce leaves
- 1 large Tomato
- 0.5 Red onion
- 4 Cheddar cheese slices
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine ground pork, egg, onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper.
Mix the ingredients thoroughly but gently using your hands or a spatula until well combined.
Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape each into a patty, about 1 inch thick.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Once the oil is hot, add the pork patties to the skillet.
Cook each patty for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C) and they are nicely browned.
While the patties are cooking, slice the tomato and red onion.
If using cheese, place one slice on each patty during the last minute of cooking to melt slightly.
Toast the whole wheat burger buns slightly if desired.
Assemble the burgers by placing a lettuce leaf on the bottom half of each bun, followed by a pork patty, tomato slice, onion slice, and then top with the other bun half.
Serve the burgers hot immediately, optionally with your choice of condiments and sides.
