Ingredients

  • 1 lb Ground Pork (Should be at least 20% fat)
  • 2 tablespoon Jamaican Jerk Seasoning (Salt free)
  • ½ teaspoon Table Salt
  • 1 tablespoon Oil

Assembly

  • 4 Hamburger buns
  • 4 slices Spicy Cheese (Pepper Jack or Habanero Jack are perfect)
  • 4 slices Green Leaf lettuce
  • ¼ Red Onion, sliced
  • ¼ cup Mayo
  • Habanero Hot Sauce (Optional)

Instructions

  • Gently mix the ground pork with salt and Jamaican jerk seasoning, being careful not to over-work the meat (this will make your burger tough)
  • For ¼ pound burgers, gently form pork into 4 equal sized patties.
  • Heat oil in a skillet on medium heat and add patties, working in batches if needed.
  • Cook approximately 3 minutes per side, or until done. Flip halfway through cooking and top with cheese.

Assembly

  • Lightly toast inside of buns, then top with desired toppings (lettuce & onions) and burger patty.
  • Spread mayo under the top of each bun and add hot sauce if desired.
  • Serve immediately.
