Grilled Pork Sausage Burgers with Maple Syrup Sauce

Step 1: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

Step 2: In a small bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, salt, and black pepper to prepare the maple syrup sauce. Set aside.

Step 3: Divide the pork sausage into four equal portions and shape them into patties.

Step 4: Place the sausage patties on the preheated grill and cook for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until they reach an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C).

Step 5: During the last few minutes of cooking, top each patty with a slice of American cheese to melt.

Step 6: If desired, lightly toast the potato buns on the grill.

Step 7: Remove the sausage patties from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes.

Step 8: Assemble the burgers by placing each sausage patty on a bun. Add any optional toppings, such as lettuce, tomato, onion, ketchup, or mustard.

Step 9: Drizzle the maple syrup sauce over the sausage patty or serve it on the side for dipping.
