Grilled Reuben Burgers
An exceptionally tasty change from traditional hamburgers, these offer so much flavor for so little work.
Prep Time:
Cooking Time: 45 minutes
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground pork
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon refrigerated minced garlic
- 1/4 cup sauerkraut, drained
- 1 1/2 teaspoons German mustard
- 4 slices Swiss cheese
- 4 hamburger buns, toasted
Directions
Preheat grill to medium.
Combine ground pork, salt, black pepper and garlic in a large bowl and mix well. Shape mixture into eight 1/4-inch-thick patties.
Combine sauerkraut and mustard in a small bowl and mix well. Spoon 1 tablespoonful sauerkraut mixture onto 4 of the patties. Top with remaining patties, pressing edges to seal.
Grill 5 inches from heat until cooked through and lightly golden, about 7 minutes per side. Top each pattie with Swiss. Serve on hamburger buns.
Secret Tip
If you don't mind a slightly less tidy burger, you can save yourself a step. Shape the meat into four patties, broil until cooked through, then top with sauerkraut and cheese. Melting the cheese helps hold the sauerkraut in place.
