with Ground Pork

From the Test Kitchen

To top beef patties (which are deliciously packed with bites of melty gouda cheese), we’re making tender caramelized onion, which gets its rich flavor from additions of savory worcestershire sauce, honey, and hot sauce.

step-by-step

instructions

Cook Along

1 Prepare & roast the sweet potato wedges

Place an oven rack in the center of the oven; preheat to 450°F. Line a sheet pan with foil. Wash and dry the sweet potato; cut into 1-inch-wide wedges. Transfer to the sheet pan. Drizzle with olive oil; season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat; arrange in an even layer. Roast 26 to 28 minutes, or until browned and tender when pierced with a fork. Remove from the oven.

2 Prepare the remaining ingredients & make the sauce

Meanwhile, grate the gouda on the large side of a box grater. Halve, peel, and thinly slice the onion. In a bowl, combine the mayonnaise and half the worcestershire sauce. Taste, then season with salt and pepper if desired.

3 Form the patties

In a bowl, combine the pork and grated gouda; season with salt and pepper. Gently mix to combine. Form the mixture into two 1/2-inch-thick patties.

4 Cook the patties & caramelize the onion

In a large pan (nonstick, if you have one), heat a drizzle of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the patties to one side of the pan and the sliced onion to the other side. Cook, occasionally stirring the onion, 5 to 6 minutes, or until the onion is slightly softened and the patties are browned. Flip the patties (carefully, as the oil may splatter). Cook, occasionally stirring the onion, 5 to 6 minutes, or until the onion is softened and the patties are cooked through.* Leaving the onion in the pan, transfer the cooked patties to a plate. To the pan, carefully add the honey, hot sauce, and remaining worcestershire sauce. Cook, stirring frequently, 1 to 2 minutes, or until combined and the onion is coated. Transfer to a bowl. Taste, then season with salt and pepper if desired. Rinse and wipe out the pan.

*The USDA recommends a minimum safe cooking temperature of 160°F for pork.

5 Toast the buns & serve your dish

If necessary, halve the buns. In the same pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the halved buns, cut side down. Toast 30 seconds to 1 minute, or until lightly browned. Transfer to a work surface. Assemble the burgers using the toasted buns, cooked patties, and caramelized onion. Serve the burgers with the roasted sweet potato wedges and sauce on the side. Enjoy!
