  • Prep Time 25 minutes
  • Total Time 35 minutes
  • Yield Serves 4

Ingredients

    • 1 1/2 pounds ground pork
    • 1 small red onion, minced, plus slices for serving
    • 3/4 cup store-bought or homemade barbecue sauce
    • Coarse salt and ground pepper
    • Vegetable oil, for grates
    • 4 soft onion rolls, split horizontally

Directions

  1. Heat grill to medium-high. In a medium bowl, place pork, minced onion, 1/4 cup barbecue sauce, 1 teaspoon coarse salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Mix very gently with a fork to combine, being careful not to overwork meat (which would make burgers dense).
  2. Gently form meat into 4 equal-size patties, 4 inches in diameter and 1 inch thick. With thumb, make a 1/2-inch-deep indentation in the center of each (this helps keep burgers flat during grilling).
  3. Moisten a folded paper towel with oil; grasp with tongs and rub over grates. Season burgers with salt and pepper; grill until cooked throughout, 5 to 8 minutes per side.
  4. Serve on onion rolls (toasted on grill, if you like), with sliced onion and remaining barbecue sauce.
