Step 1
Combine ground pork, diced onion, flour, egg, 1 tsp salt, and black pepper in a bowl. Mix gently until just combined—don't overmix.
Step 2
Form into 4 patties about 3/4-inch thick. Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
Step 3
Sear patties 4 minutes per side without moving until golden brown and cooked through. Transfer to a plate.
Step 4
In the same skillet, cook bacon until crispy, about 6 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel.
Step 5
Lightly toast bun halves in the skillet 1 minute until golden.
Step 6
Assemble: place patty on each bun bottom, top with bacon strips and bun lid. Serve immediately.
