Yield 4 burgers

Number Of Ingredients 24

1 cup BBQ Pulled Pork, recipe follows
1/4 cup BBQ Sauce, recipe follows
2 pounds ground beef, 80/20 blend
Kosher salt and ground pepper
1 tablespoon bacon fat
4 slices Wisconsin Cheddar
2 tablespoons butter, softened
4 kaiser buns
1 cup coleslaw
1 large tomato, sliced
1 red onion, cut into rings
1 pound Boston butt
2 tablespoons Cajun spice
3 cups pork or chicken stock
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
1/2 cup medium-diced carrots
1/2 cup medium-diced celery
1/2 cup medium-diced onions
1 cup ketchup
1/2 cup stone-ground mustard
1/2 cup Worcestershire sauce
1/3 cup light brown sugar
1/3 cup rice wine vinegar
2 tablespoons BBQ rub or Cajun spice

Steps:

  • Mix the BBQ Pulled Pork with the BBQ Sauce and heat in a small pan over medium heat, ensuring not to burn.
  • To prepare the patties, sprinkle the ground beef with 1 tablespoon salt and 1 tablespoon pepper. Mix well. Divide the beef into 4 burgers to create 5-inch-wide, even burgers. Do not over mix or squish, because this will cause the burgers to be tough.
  • To cook the burgers, ladle the bacon fat on a hot flat top grill or in a saute pan over medium-high heat. Once the bacon fat is hot, add the burgers and cook for 4 minutes on the first side, and then flip and repeat the cooking. This should yield a medium burger. For higher cook temperature, finish in a 400 degree F oven to desired temperature. Once cooked to desired temperature, top with the BBQ pork and a slice of cheese. Allow to melt for 1 minute.
  • During this time, spread the butter on the buns. Then place the buttered side on the flat top or in the pan to brown the butter; this will create "sealed" bread to build the burger on.
  • Begin assembling the burger. Take the buns off the grill and place 1/4 cup slaw on each cooked bottom bun, then a tomato slice, 2 red onions and the burger patty. Finish with the top bun. A skewer can be placed to hold the burger together.
  • To prepare the pork, preheat the oven to 275 degrees F. Then sprinkle the pork with the Cajun spice and place in a 6-inch-deep casserole or roasting dish. Next, add the stock, vinegar and vegetables. Cover with foil and place in the oven for 3 hours. Once cooked, remove the pork and allow to cool. Then pick or shred the meat.
  • In a bowl, whisk together the ketchup, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, sugar, vinegar and spice. Then, in a small saucepan over low heat, cook for 10 to 12 minutes to blend the flavors, stirring throughout. Once cooked, remove from the heat and hold. The BBQ sauce yields 2 cups.

The burgers were a bit dry, but the sauce helped to make them more moist.

This BBQ pork burger recipe is a winner! The meat was juicy and flavorful, and the sauce was tangy and sweet. I also loved the coleslaw on top - it added a nice crunch and freshness to the burger.
