Barbecued Pork Burgers

in barbecue, burger, entrée, pork

By mistake, I bought a pound of ground pork one weekend recently (was supposed to get pork sausage for another recipe) so I quickly searched the Epicurious app and found this little treat. Hmmm... sounds pretty good. I like pork. I like barbecue sauce (especially the chipotle hot Austin's Own). I like spicy food. I like burgers. I like barbecued burgers. So I thought this would probably turn out pretty good. Pretty good was an understatement. These were soooooooo friggin tasty. Makes me want to experiment more with burgers.

Ingredients:

  • 1 tablespoon white-wine vinegar
  • 1/2 cup bottled tomato-based barbecue sauce
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne
  • 1 1/2 pounds ground pork

Directions:

  1. Prepare grill for direct-heat cooking over medium-hot charcoal (medium heat for gas).
  2. Stir together barbecue sauce, cayenne, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and vinegar until combined well.
  3. Mix together pork, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper, and 2 tablespoons barbecue sauce mixture until combined (do not overmix), then form into 4 (3/4-inch-thick) burgers (4 inches in diameter).
  4. Oil grill rack, then grill patties, covered only if using a gas grill, turning over occasionally, until just cooked through, about 6 minutes total. Brush top of each patty with 1 tablespoon barbecue sauce mixture, then turn over and grill 30 seconds. Brush top of each patty with 1 tablespoon barbecue sauce, then turn over and grill 30 seconds more.
