Plan ahead the shaped uncooked burger patties need to marinate for a minimum of 6 hours to blend the flavors before grilling. If possible use fresh pineapple rings for this about 1/2-inch thick or a little larger. If you prefer a little kick then add in a small amount of cayenne pepper --- You can also use half ground pork and beef --- you will LOVE these burgers!

Serve with Taro chips, Hawaiian potato chips, pastachio nuts, and fresh coconut slices if you have. Dip the coconut slices in a mixture of vanilla and evaporated milk and Splenda before serving.
Note: I have not used fresh pineapple because there is intense natural acid. Some of the family cannot tolerate. You could substitute fresh pineapple, make sure you use some of the natural juice.

Tips:

Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your burgers.
Don't overmix the meat. Overmixing can make the burgers tough.
Season the meat generously. Don't be afraid to use plenty of salt and pepper. You can also add other seasonings, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or chili powder.
Form the burgers into patties that are about 1/2 inch thick. This will help them cook evenly.
Cook the burgers over medium heat. This will help them cook through without burning.
Don't flip the burgers too often. Flipping them too often can make them dry and tough.
Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the burgers. They are done when they reach an internal temperature of 160 degrees Fahrenheit.
Let the burgers rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help them retain their juices.
