Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground pork
- 0.5 medium, finely chopped onion
- 2 minced garlic cloves
- 0.5 cup breadcrumbs
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons, finely chopped fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 4 burger buns
- 4 lettuce leaves
- 4 tomato slices
- 4 cheddar cheese slices
- 0.25 cup ketchup
- 0.25 cup mayonnaise
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground pork, finely chopped onion, minced garlic, breadcrumbs, egg, parsley, paprika, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly combined.
Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each portion into a burger patty about 1 inch thick.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or grill pan over medium heat.
Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until they are fully cooked (internal temperature of 160°F). If using cheese, place a slice of cheddar on top of each patty during the last minute of cooking, and cover with a lid to melt the cheese.
Toast the burger buns lightly in the skillet or on a grill for about 1-2 minutes, if desired.
Assemble the burgers by spreading a layer of mayonnaise and ketchup on the bottom half of each bun.
Place a lettuce leaf and a slice of tomato on each bun, followed by the cooked pork patty with melted cheese.
Top with the other half of the bun and serve immediately with your favorite sides.
