Barbecued Pork Burgers with Sriracha Slaw



Sometimes you need a change of pace from a traditional burger. Here the porky goodness meets the tangy-sweet barbecue sauce, gooey cheese and a creamy, spicy Cole slaw.

Ingredients (makes 4, with extra slaw for serving):

Burgers:
1 pound ground pork
2 teaspoons grill seasoning (I like Montreal steak seasoning)
½ cup prepared barbecue sauce
4 slices provolone cheese
4 buns

Slaw:
½ cup mayonnaise
2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
2 teaspoons sugar
½ teaspoon celery salt
½ teaspoon dry mustard
Pinch salt
½ teaspoon fresh cracked black pepper
2 teaspoons Sriracha sauce
4 cups finely shredded cabbage
¼ cup finely sliced red onion

Directions: Make the slaw first so it has time to rest. Start by mixing the mayo, vinegar, sugar, celery salt, dry mustard, salt, pepper and Sriracha in a bowl. Stir in the cabbage and onion. Chill until ready to use.

To make the burgers, mix the pork and grill seasoning together and form into four patties. Coat a large skillet with cooking spray and preheat it on medium heat. Add the burgers, cooking about 10 minutes per side, until golden on each side. Turn the heat to low, baste with the barbecue sauce and cook another 3-4 minutes. Flip and coat the other side with sauce. Test for doneness by cutting into a burger slightly. There should be very little pink and any juices should be clear. Lay a slice of provolone on each burger, turn off the heat (but leave the skillet on the burner) and cover with foil until the cheese melts. Serve on buns with slaw piled on top.
