Step-by-Step Instructions
To make the BBQ sauce:

- Heat a cast iron skillet, grill or sauté pan to medium-high heat. Coat the cooking surface with cooking spray. Once it's hot, add the pork patties and cook on each side about 4-5 minutes, until a brown crust is formed and the internal temperature of the burger reaches 145 degrees.
- When the burgers are almost done on the second side, add the cheese slices to each burger.
- Remove patties and toast the buns for 30-60 seconds each in the hot pan.
- Build the burgers with desired toppings and BBQ sauce.
