Time 50m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

2 lb ground beef, 85/15
kosher salt, to taste
freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1 cup barbecue sauce, plus more for basting
8 slices bacon
4 oz cheddar cheese, diced
4 pineapple rounds, cored
nonstick cooking spray, for greasing
4 hamburger rolls
4 pieces lettuce

Steps:

Preheat the grill to 375°F (190°C).
In a large bowl, season the ground beef with salt and pepper. Add the barbecue sauce and mix with your hands until well incorporated.
Divide the meat into 4 baseball-sized portions. Roll into balls and place on a baking sheet.
Using a clean, empty soda or beer can, press into the center of a beef ball to form a crater, shaping the beef up around the sides of the can. Smooth out any cracks in the meat. Wrap 2 strips of bacon around the outside, using toothpicks to secure. Remove the can and fill the crater with 1 ounce of diced cheddar. 5. Repeat with the remaining burgers.
Transfer the burger bowls to the grill over indirect heat and cook for 25-30 minutes for medium doneness, basting with more barbecue sauce every 10-15 minutes.
While the burgers are cooking, pat the pineapple rounds dry with a paper towel. Spray lightly with nonstick spray. Add to the grill over direct heat and cook for 1-2 minutes per side, until grill marks appear.
Toast the buns on the grill for 1-2 minutes, until golden brown.
To assemble, place a piece of lettuce on a bottom bun and top with a burger and a grilled pineapple round. Finish with the top bun.
Enjoy!

Tips:

Use fresh pineapple for the best flavor. If using canned pineapple, be sure to drain it well.
Slice the pineapple into thin rings so that they cook evenly.
Cook the bacon until it is crispy. This will add a nice smoky flavor to the burgers.
Use a good quality ground beef for the burgers. 80/20 is a good ratio of meat to fat.
Season the burgers well with salt and pepper. You can also add other spices, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika.
Cook the burgers over medium heat so that they have a chance to cook through without burning.
Top the burgers with a slice of pineapple, a piece of bacon, and a dollop of barbecue sauce.

Conclusion:

The pineapple bacon burgers are a delicious and easy-to-make meal. They are perfect for a summer cookout or a casual dinner. The pineapple adds a sweet and tangy flavor to the burgers, while the bacon adds a smoky flavor. The barbecue sauce adds a finishing touch that brings all the flavors together.
