Cooking Steps
• Adjust rack to top position and preheat oven to 425 degrees. Wash and dry produce. • Halve, peel, and thinly slice onion; mince a few slices until you have 2 TBSP (4 TBSP for 4 servings). Cut potatoes into ½-inch-thick wedges. Halve buns. • In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise with chipotle powder to taste (start with a pinch, then taste and add more from there if desired). Season with salt and pepper; set aside.
• Melt 1 TBSP butter in a large pan over medium heat. Add sliced onion and season with salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and lightly browned, 10-15 minutes. TIP: Lower heat and add a splash of water if onion begins to brown too quickly. • Stir in half the BBQ sauce (you’ll use the rest later); cook until sauce is warmed through, 1-2 minutes more. • Turn off heat; transfer to a medium bowl. Wash out pan.
• While onion cooks, toss potatoes on a baking sheet with a large drizzle of oil, half the Fry Seasoning (you’ll use the rest later), salt, and pepper. • Roast on top rack until browned and tender, 20-25 minutes.
• While potatoes roast, in a large bowl, combine pork*, minced onion, remaining Fry Seasoning, salt (we used ½ tsp; 1 tsp for 4 servings), and pepper. • Form into two patties (four patties for 4), each slightly wider than a burger bun.
• Heat a drizzle of oil in pan used for onion over medium-high heat. Add patties and cook until browned and cooked through, 4-7 minutes per side. • In the last 1-2 minutes of cooking, top each patty with cheddar; cover pan until cheese melts. • While patties cook, toast buns until golden.
• Spread bottom buns with remaining BBQ sauce. Spread top buns with chipotle aioli. Fill buns with patties and caramelized onion. • Divide burgers between plates and serve with potato wedges on the side.

Review summary
Updated on Sep 2026- Flavor: The BBQ caramelized onions and chipotle aioli are the flavor highlights, giving the burger a bold, layered taste 🍔. Some found the pork patty itself mild on its own; the sauces do a lot of the heavy lifting, so don't skip them.
- Ease of prep: Most found this quick and easy to put together. A few noted the recipe card was missing the potato roasting time, so plan on 20–25 minutes at 425°F and start them before the onions to keep everything ready at once.
- Suggestions: Use sliced cheddar instead of shredded — shredded cheese tends to slide off the patty and into the pan. Go easy on the chipotle powder in the aioli; start with a small pinch and taste as you go, as several found it easy to overdo. Air-frying the potato wedges or broiling them at the end gives a crispier result than oven-roasting alone.
- Leftovers: This burger is best eaten fresh; a few noted it doesn't hold up as well the next day, especially the bun. Leftover patties can be repurposed in a bowl or wrap if you have extra on hand.
Reviews from our home cooks
The bbq onions were so good mixed with the chipotle aioli, which was a bit spicy but it added just the right amount of kick! The fry seasoning is my favorite!! It's sooo good and I'm happy I got to use it on the wedges and in the burger meat!! Solid 10/10, would get again!
Loved this one, but changed up a bit.... I added BBQ Sauce to the Aioli and as well, to the Pork mixture for the Burger Patty's. I also Sauteed Mushrooms and added to the grilled onions. Finally, instead of the roasted Potato Wedges, I opted to make Southern Potato Salad out of the potatoes included, instead. YUMMY!
The potato wedges weren't great... The seasoning wasn't flavorful, texture was off, and burger preparation was weird. The chipotle mayo was overly smokey, and I wasn't a fan of mixing the caramelized onions with the bbq.
Overall this was very good. We didn't feel the full flavor profile was as complex as it could have been for this burger compared to other burger recipes we've received. While the aioli was spicy and smoky, that was about it. Would like to have had more spices for the wedges as well, maybe stronger garlic to pair with the sweetness of the bbq.
The pork burger was juicy and the sauces were delicious. Onions always go well on a burger. However, the potato wedges side for burgers are a little boring and there wasn't enough mayonnaise to make the aioli for two servings.
The Chipotle Aioli was a bit spicy for us but it was tasty. The addition of the BBQ sauce to the onions was delicious. I saute onions for burgers all the time, but never thought to add BBQ. Nice touch.
I had never made burgers before making this meal, and these BBQ cheddar pork burgers did not disappoint. Super simple recipe to follow, and the taste was so savory. Would definitely get the recipe again
This was delicious and easy to prepare. The potatoes were really too small to cut them in wedges as in the pic. But the flavors were good, the bun nice and soft and the quality of the beef was excellent. Great to enjoy a homemade burger, as I've done mostly curbside pick ups over the Pandemic and it's never good by the time get it home. A winner!
The burgers were thick and juicy. The sauces were flavorful and perfect with the cheddar cheese and potato buns. The fries were on the small side due to small potatoes but still very good
Potato wedges didn't get all the way done and cooked them longer then recipe called for. The burger was very good. I'm not a big fan of the onions but still good and reheated well too.
