This amazing burger got rave reviews last night!!! Think McRib....only a whole lot tastier and not made with mystery ingredients! Served on homemade burger buns (see previous post for recipe), your whole family will say "Thanks Mom".

1/4 cup mayo (or plain greek yougurt)
1 tbsp milk
2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
1 1/2 tsp sugar
1/2 tsp fresh ground pepper
pinch kosher salt
2 cups packaged cole slaw (I LOVE Rainbow Mix)
1 cup your fave BBQ sauce
pinch cayenne pepper
1 tsp Mesquite Seasoning (I use Goode Co. Mesquite Shake)
1/2 tsp garlic powder
2 lbs ground pork
1 large Vidalia onion, sliced into thin rings
1 tbsp butter

For The Slaw

Whisk together mayo, milk, 1 tbsp of the vinegar, black pepper, sugar and pinch of salt. Add slaw mix and stir to combine. Cover and refrigerate up to 8 hours.

For The Caramelized Onions

In a large skillet over medium low heat melt butter. Add onion and cook, stirring occasionally, unitl onions are deep golden brown, about 35-40 minutes. Remove from heat until ready to serve.

For The Burgers

Heat grill to medium high heat.

In small bowl, whisk together bbq sauce, remaining tbsp vinegar, cayenne pepper, mesquite seasoning and garlic powder.

In another bowl, combine ground pork and 1/3 cup bbq sauce. Gently mix with hands to combine. Shape into 6 patties.

Place burgers on grill and brush with some of the remaining bbq sauce. Cook, turning once until cooked through, about 7 minutes per side, basting with sauce.

To Serve

Rewarm onions over low heat during last few minutes burgers are cooking.
Toast buns if desired. Place a burger on bottom half of bun. Top with some of the slaw and onions. Add top half of bun and serve.
