Pepper Jack Stuffed Pork Burgers Food

BACON AND PEPPER JACK STUFFED HAMBURGERS

Steps:

• Mix cheese and bacon in a bowl.
• Flatten approximately 1/8 - 1/4 of the ground chuck (depending on how large you would like your burgers to be) in the palm of your hand.
• Squeeze together about 1-2 tablespoons of the bacon and cheese mixture; put it in the center of the ground chuck.
• Bring up the sides of the meat over the filling, making sure the cheese is completely covered by the meat.
• Flatten slightly to form into a patty.
• Season patties to taste with garlic powder, seasoned salt, and ground black pepper.
• Grill burgers approximately 6-8 minutes on each side for medium.

PERFECT PORK BURGERS

Steps:

• Pulse the bacon and garlic in a food processor until coarsely ground.
• Combine the ground pork, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper and the sage in a large bowl. Add the bacon mixture and gently mix with your hands. Gently form the meat into 4 balls, then lightly press into 4-inch-wide, 1-inch-thick patties. Make a 2-inch-wide indentation in the center of each with your thumb to prevent the burgers from bulging when grilled.
• Preheat a grill to medium high. Season the patties with pepper. Grill, undisturbed, until marked on the bottom, 5 to 6 minutes. Turn and grill until the other side is marked and the patties feel firm, 4 to 6 more minutes. Meanwhile, spread the cut sides of the buns with butter and toast on the grill.
• Serve the patties on the buns; top with coleslaw.

MUSHROOM STUFFED GRILLED PORK BURGERS

Steps:

• In a skillet, saute the mushrooms, onion and garlic until tender in butter (about 2-3 minutes); set aside to cool.
• In a bowl, combine ground pork, mustard (if using) Worcestershire sauce, seasoning salt and pepper; mix well.
• Shape into 24 even size patties about 4-5-inches in diameter (this is for the top and bottom patties).
• Divide and spoon the mushroom mixture evenly onto center of 12 patties; place another pattie on top, and seal the edges of the meat tightly all around.
• Place patties on grill about 6-inches over medium coals.
• Grill about 20-22 minutes turning once until the patties are thoroughly cooked.
• Serve on buns.
