ingredients
- 5 slices bacon
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1 lb ground pork
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1⁄4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper, plus more for seasoning burgers
- 1⁄4 teaspoon dried rubbed sage
- 4 potato buns, split
- unsalted butter, softened, for spreading
- Coleslaw, for topping
directions
- Pulse the bacon and garlic in a food processor until coarsely ground.
- Combine the ground pork, salt, pepper and sage in a large bowl. Add the bacon mixture and gently mix with your hands. Gently form the meat into 4 balls and then lightly press into 4" wide, 1" thick patties. Make a 2" wide indention in the center of each with your thumb to prevent the burgers from bulging when grilling.
- Preheat grill to medium high. Season patties with pepper. Grill, undisturbed, until marked on the bottom, 5-6 minutes. Turn and grill other side until marked and patties feel firm, 4-6 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.
