  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the ground pork, mashed sweet potato, grated apple, Cajun seasoning, grated onion, salt, pepper, and chopped cilantro. Shape the mixture into 4-6 equal-sized burgers. Cover and allow to chill for 1 hour.
  3. Slice the remaining onion and cook in a skillet with 1 tablespoon of corn oil over low heat for 10-12 minutes until soft. Set aside. Wrap each burger in 2 slices of Canadian bacon.
  4. Preheat the barbecue. Lightly brush the burgers with oil and grill over hot coals for 5-6 minutes on each side or to your preferred level of doneness. Serve the burgers with the caramelized onions on top.
