How to Make Barbecued Cajun Pork Burgers

1. Peel and cube 1 large sweet potato. Cook in a pan of lightly salted boiling water for 15-20 minutes, or until tender.
2. Drain well, then mash the sweet potato and set aside.
3. In a large bowl, combine 1 lb ground pork, the mashed sweet potato, 1/2 cup grated apple (about 1 medium), and 2 tablespoons Cajun seasoning.
4. Grate 1/2 of a medium yellow onion and add it to the pork mixture along with 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, and 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro.
5. Gently mix all ingredients. Shape the mixture into 4-6 equal-size patties.
6. Cover and chill the patties in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
7. Thinly slice the remaining 1/2 of the medium yellow onion.
8. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat.
9. Add the sliced onions and cook for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened and caramelized.
10. Remove the skillet from the heat and set aside the caramelized onions.
11. Wrap each burger patty with 2 slices of bacon.
12. Preheat your barbecue grill to medium-high heat.
13. Lightly brush the bacon-wrapped burgers with olive oil. Grill for 5-6 minutes per side, or until the pork is cooked through and the bacon is crispy. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).
14. Serve the Barbecued Cajun Pork Burgers immediately on burger buns, topped with the caramelized onions.
