How to Make Barbecued Pork Burgers

  1. In a large bowl, combine 1 lb ground pork, 1/2 cup your favorite BBQ sauce, 1/4 cup finely chopped onion, 2 cloves minced garlic, 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce, 1 tsp smoked paprika, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper.
  2. Gently mix all ingredients until just combined. Avoid overmixing, as this can make the burgers tough.
  3. Form the mixture into 4-5 equal-sized patties, about 3/4 inch thick.
  4. Refrigerate the patties for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
  5. Preheat your charcoal grill to medium-high heat.
  6. Grill the burgers for 4-5 minutes per side, or until cooked through and slightly charred. For extra flavor, baste with additional BBQ sauce (or Creole mustard) during the last few minutes of cooking.
  7. Top with jalapeño-jack cheese during the last minute of grilling, allowing it to melt.
  8. Serve immediately on toasted buns with your favorite burger toppings.
