Cuisine: American
Serves: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground pork
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
- 1 egg
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 6 hamburger buns
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine ground pork, breadcrumbs, egg, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly using your hands or a large fork until all ingredients are well incorporated.
- Divide the meat mixture into 6 equal portions and shape each portion into a uniform patty, approximately 1/2 inch thick. Create a slight indentation in the center of each patty to help it cook evenly and prevent bulging.
- Preheat a grill, grill pan, or skillet to medium-high heat. If using a skillet, lightly spray or brush with cooking oil to prevent sticking.
- Place the pork patties on the heated cooking surface. Cook for 6-7 minutes on the first side, allowing a nice golden-brown crust to form.
- Carefully flip the patties and cook for an additional 6-7 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C), which ensures the pork is fully cooked and safe to eat.
- During the last minute of cooking, optional: place a slice of cheese on each patty if desired, and allow it to melt slightly.
- Remove patties from heat and let rest for 2-3 minutes to allow juices to redistribute.
- Toast the hamburger buns lightly if preferred, then place each pork patty on a bun.
- Serve immediately with your favorite condiments such as lettuce, tomato, onion, mustard, or ketchup.
Tips
- • For the juiciest burgers, don't overwork the meat mixture when combining ingredients - mix just until combined. • Create a small dimple in the center of each patty to prevent them from puffing up during cooking. • Use a meat thermometer to ensure your pork reaches the safe internal temperature of 160°F. • Let the burgers rest for a few minutes after cooking to help retain their moisture. • Experiment with different toppings and condiments to make these burgers your own signature dish. • If grilling isn't an option, these burgers work perfectly in a skillet or grill pan with the same delicious results.
