McDonald's McRib Obsession Experiment

Alright.  We all have our own little obsessions.  Mine, McRib.  Processed pork pattie, drowning in bbq sauce, adorned by pickles and onions on a nice toasty sub-like roll. 

Okay, so my boyfriend said to me, "Hey, why can't we make it from ground pork?" 

Freaking BRILLIANT!

Now here is the dilemma:  How do I do this?

Trial number one and I should have known better.  Just season with bbq sauce (KC Masterpiece comes the closest in taste to me).  Make it out into patties.  Grill mark it.  Throw it in some bbq sauce with fresh and dehydrated onions.  Bake it for about an hour.

I can go ahead and tell you.  I should have used a binder.  DUH! DUH! DUH!

Yes, they did fall apart. 

So, in future trials.... I will do as my grandmother did with her meatloaf.  BISCUTS.  Left over biscuts.  Crumble them all up, mix with the bbq sauce, perhaps even just a tiny dash of liquid smoke.  Mix it all up into the ground pork.  Pattie up.  Chill for a bit.  Grill them off.  Place in sauce with onions. 

Perhaps, try cubed pork.  Marinate in bbq sauce and a dash of liquid smoke.  Pat dry, grill marks, put in sauce and onions. 

No matter how this first trial turns out, I still think it is gonna be good. 

Pics will be posted.  Promise. 

If you have any suggestions, please do post them.  Thanks!
