4 servings
For the patties
- 1 ½ lb ground pork
Chef's tipUse a plant-based ground product and cook according to package directions; add oil only if needed. - 4 scallions, thinly sliced (white and green parts)
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp worcestershire sauce
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
For the burgers
- 8 slices bacon
Chef's tipCook it like regular bacon. It's leaner and releases little fat, so add a splash of oil to the pan if needed. - 4 slices cheddar cheese
Chef's tipShred it and warm it gently; dairy-free cheddar melts best baked into a dish. - 4 burger buns, split
- 1 tbsp neutral oil (such as canola oil or vegetable oil)
For serving
- lettuce, tomato, and condiments, for serving (optional)
Instructions
- 1
Cook the bacon in a large skillet over medium heat, turning occasionally, until crispy, about 8–10 minutes. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate and set aside. Pour off all but about 1 tsp of the drippings, or wipe the skillet clean and add the neutral oil if you prefer a cleaner flavor.

In a large bowl, combine the ground pork, scallions, smoked paprika, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently with your hands until just combined — do not overwork the meat. Divide into 4 equal portions and press each into a patty about 3/4 inch thick, making a slight indent in the center of each with your thumb to prevent doming.
