Instructions

Prepare the Patties

In a large bowl, combine the ground pork sausage with garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper. Mix gently until the spices are evenly distributed.

Pro tip: Avoid over-mixing to keep the patties tender.

Form the Patties

Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape into patties slightly larger than your buns, as they will shrink during cooking.

Pro tip: Make a slight indentation in the center of each patty to prevent puffing.

Grill the Patties

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Grill the patties for 5-6 minutes on each side, or until they reach an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C). If using cheese, place a slice on each patty during the last minute of cooking.

Pro tip: Close the grill lid to help melt the cheese.

Assemble the Burgers

Place each patty on a toasted bun. Add your choice of toppings and serve immediately.

Pro tip: Let the patties rest for a few minutes before serving to lock in the juices.

Tips & Tricks

Ensure your grill is clean and well-oiled before cooking to prevent sticking. Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness, aiming for an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C). Allow the patties to rest for a few minutes before serving to enhance juiciness.

Serving Suggestions

Serve these juicy patties on toasted buns with your choice of toppings like cheddar cheese, lettuce, tomato, and a spicy aioli for an added kick. Pair with a side of grilled corn on the cob or a fresh coleslaw to complement the rich, savory flavors of the sausage. These burgers are not just a meal; they’re a celebration of flavor and simplicity. Enjoy them hot off the grill with a cold beverage, and watch them become a staple at your BBQ gatherings.
