Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Ground pork
- 2 tbsp Maple syrup
- 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tsp Garlic powder
- 1 tsp Onion powder
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 4 Burger buns
- 2 tbsp Butter
- 4 Lettuce leaves
- 4 Tomato slices
- 4 Cheddar cheese slices (optional)
- 2 tbsp Mustard (for serving)
- 2 tbsp Mayonnaise (for serving, optional)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine ground pork, maple syrup, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently with your hands or a spoon until just combined. Do not overmix.
Divide the pork mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each portion into a patty about 3/4-inch thick. Make a slight indentation in the center of each patty to prevent them from puffing up during cooking.
Heat a grill or stovetop skillet over medium heat. Lightly oil the grill grates or skillet to prevent sticking.
Place the pork patties onto the grill or skillet. Cook for 4-5 minutes on each side or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C) and the patties are fully cooked through.
While the patties cook, slice the burger buns in half and spread butter on each cut side. Toast the buns on the grill or in a separate skillet until golden brown.
To assemble the burgers, spread a thin layer of mustard (and mayonnaise, if using) on the bottom half of each bun. Add a lettuce leaf, a slice of tomato, a cooked pork patty, and a slice of cheddar cheese (if using). Top with the other half of the bun.
Serve immediately with your favorite side dishes like fries, coleslaw, or a fresh salad. Enjoy!
