Ingredients

Burgers

  • 1 pound lean ground beef
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 2 tablespoons bbq sauce
  •  

Additional ingredients

  • 4 brioche hamburger buns
  • ½ cup mayo
  • 8 slices bacon cooked
  • 4 slices fresh pineapple about 1/3-1/2 inch thick
  • ½ cup additional bbq sauce
  •  

Instructions

  • Preheat grill to medium.
  • Combine ground beef, salt and 2 tablespoons of your favorite bbq sauce. Mix very gently with hands, as not to overwork the meat.
  • Shape into 4 patties, and flatten to roughly the same size of your buns (they will shrink some during cooking).  Use your finger to place a small divet in the center of each patty.
  • Lightly oil grill grates. Place burgers on the grill and cook for a few minutes on each side.
  •  When you flip the burgers, add the pineapple slices to the grill, making sure you get a chance to flip them once as well.  They should be tender and have some char marks on them. 1-2 minutes on each side should be sufficient.
  • The USDA recommends cooking burgers to an internal temperature of 165℉ but if you prefer your burgers more tender with a little pink in the center then you can remove them at a lower temperature.
  • If desired, toast your buns. Spread mayo on each side, or what I did in my photos is a 50/50 mix of mayo and bbq sauce.
  • Place burgers in buns, top with the slice of pineapple, top with 1-2 slices bacon, and an extra drizzle of barbecue sauce.

Notes

You can sub canned pineapple in a pinch. It's not quite the same, but you'll still get that sweet juicy bite that compliments the burgers. If it's too tricky to grill your soft canned pineapple, you can skip that step and just place the pineapple right on the burger. I'd blot the juices off first, with a paper towel.
