- 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)
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.
