Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Ground pork
- 1 tsp Garlic powder
- 1 tsp Onion powder
- 1 tsp Smoked paprika
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 0.25 cup Breadcrumbs
- 1 Egg
- 4 slice Cheddar cheese slices
- 4 strip Bacon strips
- 4 Burger buns
- 0.25 cup Barbecue sauce
- 4 leaf Lettuce leaves
- 8 slice Tomato slices
- 8 slice Pickle slices
- 1 tbsp Vegetable oil
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, combine the ground pork, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, black pepper, breadcrumbs, and the egg. Mix thoroughly until well combined.
Divide the pork mixture into four equal portions and shape them into burger patties, slightly larger than the buns as they will shrink during cooking.
Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium heat and add the vegetable oil.
Cook the bacon strips in the skillet until crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side. Set them aside on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease.
In the same skillet, cook the pork patties for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until they are cooked through and reach an internal temperature of 160°F (70°C).
During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty and cover the skillet with a lid to melt the cheese.
Lightly toast the burger buns in another pan or on a grill for a minute or two until golden brown.
Assemble the burgers: Spread barbecue sauce on the bottom half of each bun, then layer with a lettuce leaf, a slice of tomato, the cheesy pork patty, a strip of crispy bacon, pickle slices, and then top with the other half of the bun.
Serve immediately with your favorite sides like fries or coleslaw, and enjoy your delicious Pig Burger!
