Pork Burgers
Today, I'm sharing a personal favorite: juicy pork burgers bursting with flavor. Lean ground pork forms the base, ensuring a satisfying texture.
Servings: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 1 pound (454 g) ground pork
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 egg, beaten
- ¼ cup (20 g) breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons light barbecue sauce (sugar-free)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- A little bit of oil for the grill
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground pork, minced garlic, onion powder, beaten egg, breadcrumbs, barbecue sauce, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
- Divide the mixture into equal portions and shape them into burger patties of your desired size. Make sure to press the patties firmly so that they hold their shape while cooking.
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
- Once the grill is hot, place the pork burger patties on the grill. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are cooked through and reach an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C).
- While cooking, avoid pressing down on the patties with a spatula as this can cause the juices to escape and result in dry burgers.
- Once the pork burgers are cooked, remove them from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
- Serve the pork burgers on buns with your favorite toppings and condiments, such as lettuce, tomato slices, red onion, carrot and cucumber slices, mustard, and sugar-free barbecue sauce. Enjoy your delicious and flavorful pork burgers!
Notes
With 4 WW points per serving (not including bun)
The bun I have in the pictures in 6 points--you can definitely find healthier buns though.
