Pork Burgers with Caramelized Onions

Ingredients

• 1 lb ground pork
• 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp black pepper
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 large yellow onion, thinly sliced
• 1 tbsp butter
• 1 tsp brown sugar
• 4 hamburger buns
• 4 slices cheddar cheese, optional

Instructions

1. 1Heat the olive oil and butter in a skillet over medium-low heat, add the onion, and cook slowly for 18 to 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until deeply golden and soft.
2. 2Stir in the brown sugar during the last 2 minutes of cooking the onions, then set them aside.
3. 3While the onions cook, gently mix the ground pork with Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, salt, and pepper, and shape into 4 patties.
4. 4Heat a clean skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat and cook the patties for 5 to 6 minutes per side, until they reach 160°F internally.
5. 5Top each patty with a slice of cheddar cheese during the last minute of cooking if using, so it melts.
6. 6Toast the buns lightly, then build the burgers with the patties and a generous pile of caramelized onions.
