BBQ Pork Burger | Juicy & Smoky with Cheddar

Preheat the grill to medium-high direct heat (approx. 200–220 °C). Slice the red onions into thin rings and cut the pickles lengthwise into thin slices.

Place the minced pork in a bowl and season evenly with smoked paprika powder, garlic powder, fine table salt, and ground black pepper. Mix swiftly and shape into 4 equal-sized, flat burger patties. Press a slight indentation into the centre of each patty so they do not bulge while grilling.

Place the burger patties on the hot grill grate over direct heat and grill with the lid closed for about 4–5 minutes until a nice grill crust forms. Flip the patties, immediately top each with a slice of Cheddar cheese, and brush with a little barbecue sauce. Grill for another 3–4 minutes until the meat is cooked through and the cheese is melted and creamy.
