Food: Loaded Pork Burger

[peteyfrogboy]

I had ground pork ($1.99/lb, hard to go wrong) and needed something to do with it. I rummaged around in the fridge and came up with this:

Loaded Pork Burgers
2 lb ground pork (actually 2.25ish - enough for 9 quarter-pound burgers)
1 egg
8(?) saltine crackers, crushed
3 T barbecue sauce
1/2 c (?) diced white onion
3/4 c shredded cheddar cheese

Mix it all together, form into burgers, cook in electric skillet on medium-low heat with a little oil. Serve on buns with Heinz 57 sauce. My main goal was to keep the burgers from being dry, and in that regard it worked beautifully. There's room to add a lot more flavor in the burger itself, so maybe net time it'll be better. Ground pork is about half the price of on-sale ground beef, so this may become a regular occurrence.

Mmm. I love good $2/lb meat.
