Zubereitung von Jerk Pork Cheeseburgers With Green Apple Slaw
- **Prepare the Green Apple Slaw:** In a medium bowl, combine 2 medium green apples (thinly sliced), 1 tablespoon lemon zest, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 1/2 cup mayonnaise, 2 tablespoons chopped chives, 1 1/2 tablespoons maple syrup, and 1/2 tablespoon jerk seasoning. Stir to combine and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
- **Prepare the Jerk Pork:** In a large bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 tablespoons maple syrup and 1 1/2 tablespoons jerk seasoning. Add 1 lb ground pork and gently mix until combined. Shape the mixture into four 1-inch thick patties, making a slight indentation in the center of each to prevent bulging during cooking.
- **Cook the Bacon:** In a large nonstick skillet, cook 6 slices of applewood smoked bacon over medium heat until crisp, about 8 minutes. Transfer to paper towels to drain, reserving the bacon drippings in the skillet.
- **Cook the Pork Patties:** Heat the reserved bacon drippings in the skillet over medium-high heat until sizzling. Add the pork patties and cook for 4 minutes per side, or until cooked through. During the last 2 minutes of cooking, reduce heat to low, top each patty with 1 ounce of smoked cheddar cheese, and cover the skillet to allow the cheese to melt completely.
- **Assemble the Burgers:** Toast your favorite burger buns. Place a cooked pork patty on each bottom bun half. Top with 2 slices of cooked bacon, 1/4 of the green apple slaw, and the top bun half.
- **Serve immediately** and enjoy your delicious Jerk Pork Cheeseburgers!
