Instructions

1

Knead together the two types of meat, chopped onion, garlic, egg, breadcrumbs, and spices.

Tip: Pork needs breadcrumbs and egg as binders, otherwise, it might fall apart on the grate.
2

Form 4 patties and press a dimple into the center of each.

Tip: Pork must be cooked through, so don't make the patties too thick.
3

Cook for 5-6 minutes per side over medium heat. Place cheese on top during the last minute and cover to melt.

Tip: Pork needs to be cooked to an internal temperature of 160°F (72°C) for safety.
4

Toast the cut side of the buns and assemble the burger.

Tip: Toasting prevents the bun from getting soggy too quickly.

Recipe FAQ

Why did the center of the patty puff up?
Meat contracts when cooking. Press a dimple into the center of the raw patty with your thumb so it cooks flat.
