½ cup pork rub, 1 cup Carolina mustard sauce

Make the Pork Burgers

Make the Diner-Style Coleslaw. Keep in the fridge while you're preparing the burgers.
2 cups diner-style coleslaw
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Liberally season the patties all over with the rub. Sprinkle the salt on both sides of the patties.
Kosher salt, 4 pork burger patties
Grill the patties until an internal temperature of 135°F to 145°F is reached. Meanwhile, split the buns and toast them on the grill until slightly browned.
Build the burgers: Start with a liberal smear of the mustard sauce on the bottom bun, topped with the burger, then a mound of the coleslaw, topped with the toasted top bun. Serve at once!
