Ingredients

  • 10-12 ounces ground pork
  • 1 small onion chopped
  • 1 serrano pepper chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves chopped
  • ¼ cup panko or bread crumbs
  • 2 tablespoon spicy mustard – I used some of our homemade mustard
  • 2 thick slices pineapple
  • Cajun seasonings
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Olive oil
  • 2 pretzel buns
  • Extra jalapeno peppers for serving - you gotta have a good side!

Instructions

  • Heat a large pan to medium heat and add a bit of olive oil. Add onion and serrano pepper and cook about 5 minutes to soften.
  • Add garlic and cook 1 more minute, stirring. Add to a mixing bowl and cool.
  • Add ground pork, bread crumbs and spicy mustard. Dash in your favorite Cajun seasonings, or a nice and spicy chili powder blend, and salt and pepper.
  • Hand mix and form 2 burger patties. Do not overmix. Keep it lumpy.
  • Heat a grill to medium heat and add the patties. Cook about 4-5 minutes per side, until pork burgers are cooked through.
  • While pork burgers are cooking, rub the pineapple slices with olive oil. Sprinkle with Cajun seasonings and salt.
  • Grill each pineapple slice a couple minutes per side. Get those nice grill marks, yo!
  • Toss the buns on the grill to get them toasty. You can add a bit of olive oil to them to help this along, but a dry toasting is fine.
  • Add the burgers to the bun and top with pineapple slices, or the other way around. Your choice!
  • Serve!
