Time 3h45m

Yield 4 burgers

Number Of Ingredients 24

1 cup BBQ Pulled Pork, recipe follows
1/4 cup BBQ Sauce, recipe follows
2 pounds ground beef, 80/20 blend
Kosher salt and ground pepper
1 tablespoon bacon fat
4 slices Wisconsin Cheddar
2 tablespoons butter, softened
4 kaiser buns
1 cup coleslaw
1 large tomato, sliced
1 red onion, cut into rings
1 pound Boston butt
2 tablespoons Cajun spice
3 cups pork or chicken stock
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
1/2 cup medium-diced carrots
1/2 cup medium-diced celery
1/2 cup medium-diced onions
1 cup ketchup
1/2 cup stone-ground mustard
1/2 cup Worcestershire sauce
1/3 cup light brown sugar
1/3 cup rice wine vinegar
2 tablespoons BBQ rub or Cajun spice

Steps:

  • Mix the BBQ Pulled Pork with the BBQ Sauce and heat in a small pan over medium heat, ensuring not to burn.
  • To prepare the patties, sprinkle the ground beef with 1 tablespoon salt and 1 tablespoon pepper. Mix well. Divide the beef into 4 burgers to create 5-inch-wide, even burgers. Do not over mix or squish, because this will cause the burgers to be tough.
  • To cook the burgers, ladle the bacon fat on a hot flat top grill or in a saute pan over medium-high heat. Once the bacon fat is hot, add the burgers and cook for 4 minutes on the first side, and then flip and repeat the cooking. This should yield a medium burger. For higher cook temperature, finish in a 400 degree F oven to desired temperature. Once cooked to desired temperature, top with the BBQ pork and a slice of cheese. Allow to melt for 1 minute.
  • During this time, spread the butter on the buns. Then place the buttered side on the flat top or in the pan to brown the butter; this will create "sealed" bread to build the burger on.
  • Begin assembling the burger. Take the buns off the grill and place 1/4 cup slaw on each cooked bottom bun, then a tomato slice, 2 red onions and the burger patty. Finish with the top bun. A skewer can be placed to hold the burger together.
  • To prepare the pork, preheat the oven to 275 degrees F. Then sprinkle the pork with the Cajun spice and place in a 6-inch-deep casserole or roasting dish. Next, add the stock, vinegar and vegetables. Cover with foil and place in the oven for 3 hours. Once cooked, remove the pork and allow to cool. Then pick or shred the meat.
  • In a bowl, whisk together the ketchup, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, sugar, vinegar and spice. Then, in a small saucepan over low heat, cook for 10 to 12 minutes to blend the flavors, stirring throughout. Once cooked, remove from the heat and hold. The BBQ sauce yields 2 cups.

Categories     main-dish

Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 pounds ground beef (80/20 blend)
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons grapeseed oil
1/2 cup barbecue sauce of choice
10 ounces homemade or prepared pulled pork, recipe follows
Four 4 1/2-inch brioche buns
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
3 pounds bone-out Boston butt
1 tablespoon Cajun spice
1 tablespoon salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
3 cups medium-dice mixed carrots, celery and onions
2 bay leaves
Chicken stock, for covering pork

Steps:

  • For the burgers: In a bowl, blend the ground beef with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Remove a small portion, about 1 ounce, and cook to check the level of seasoning. Add additional salt and pepper if needed.
  • Using about 8 ounces for each burger, form the meat into even-sized patties and flatten slightly (do not over-mix during the process).
  • Warm a griddle or pan over medium-high heat until hot, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the oil and patties and reduce the heat to medium. Cook on the first side until browned, 3 minutes, and then flip and repeat the process to the desired doneness. Remove and let rest.
  • For the pork: In a saucepan, warm the barbecue sauce over medium-low heat. Add the pulled pork and mix with the sauce until warm.
  • For the buns: In a flat pan, warm the buns over medium heat for 2 minutes. Butter the interior portion of the buns and cook until nicely toasted, 1 to 2 minutes.
  • To build the burgers, place the patties on the bottom buns. Top with the sauced pork and bun tops and serve.
  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
  • Sprinkle the Boston butt with the Cajun spice, salt and pepper and put in a deep roasting pan. Add the diced vegetables and bay leaves, and then cover with chicken stock. Wrap with plastic wrap and tightly cover with foil. Roast until tender, 2 to 2 1/2 hours.
  • Remove the pork from the stock and let cool. Shred with two forks.
