Panfried BBQ Pork Cheeseburgers

Ingredients:

• 1 lb Swift Ground Pork
• 6 very thin slices of sweet onion
• 1/4 C finely chopped onion
• 1/4 C plus 2 Tbsp of bottled Kansas City-style barbecue sauce
• 2 Tbsp plain fine-dry bread crumbs
• 1 tsp garlic salt
• 1 tsp smoked paprika
• 1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper
• 4 deli-sliced slices of cheddar or Gouda cheese
• 4 burger buns or kaiser rolls split and toasted

Directions:

1. Cook onion slices, covered, in 2 teaspoons oil in medium skillet over medium-low heat about 20 minutes or until very tender. Remove from heat. Stir in 1/4 cup barbecue sauce; cover to keep warm.
2. Meanwhile, combine chopped onion, remaining 2 tablespoons barbecue sauce, bread crumbs, garlic salt, paprika, and pepper in large bowl. Add ground pork and mix (do not overwork meat mixture). With damp hands, form mixture into four 1/2-inch-thick patties. Let stand at room temperature for 5 to 10 minutes.
3. Add remaining 1 teaspoon oil to large skillet. Add patties. Cook patties, covered, over medium heat for 6 to 8 minutes until instant-read thermometer inserted near centers reads 155°F., turning patties over halfway through cooking. Top burgers with cheese; continue cooking, covered about 1 minute or until cheese is melted and burgers reach 160°F.
4. Serve burgers in buns topped with onion-barbecue sauce mixture.
