How to Make Easy Homemade Pork Burgers
Step 1: In a large bowl, add the ground pork, salt, breadcrumbs, yellow mustard, chopped garlic, oregano, egg yolk, and pepper. Using your hands, mix until all the ingredients are evenly combined, being careful not to overwork the meat to keep the burgers tender and juicy.
Step 2: Divide the meat mixture into 6 portions, then use your hands to form burger patties.
Step 3: Heat a drizzle of vegetable oil in a grill pan over medium-low heat. Once the oil is hot, add the burgers and cook for 7 to 8 minutes, turning once halfway through, until they are golden brown on both sides and cooked through.
Step 4: Remove from the heat and serve the juicy burgers on buns with cheese and crispy French fries.
Variations
• Add cheddar, Parmesan, or Mozzarella cheese during the last minute of cooking.
• Brush the burgers with barbecue sauce during the final minutes of cooking.
• Mix fresh parsley, thyme, or rosemary into the meat for extra flavor.
• Skip the buns and serve the burgers with rice, French fries or mashed potatoes.
Tips for Easy Homemade Pork Burgers
• Don't overmix - Mix the ingredients just until combined. Overworking the meat can make the burgers dense instead of tender.
• Shape evenly sized patties - This helps them cook at the same rate and ensures every burger is perfectly cooked.
• Toast the buns - Lightly toasting the burger buns adds texture and helps prevent them from becoming soggy.
• For a complete meal - Serve these burgers with French fries, rice, mashed potatoes, or a green salad.
