Ingredients and Equipment
Beef – Feel free to use whichever ground beef you prefer. I generally use lean ground beef, which is at least 92% lean, but if I want them to be extra delicious I’ll go for the 85% lean. Pineapple – I recommend fresh pineapple in this recipe. Not only does it taste fantastic, but fresh pineapple will hold up on the grill better. However if you need to feel free to use drained sliced, canned pineapple. Grilling canned pineapple is a little tricky though, since it’s not as firm, you’ll have to be very careful there. When using fresh pineapple, I use a small biscuit cutter to cut out the center core of my slices. You could just use a knife if you do not have a small cutter of some sort. Barbecue Sauce – Use your favorite bottled sauce, or whip up a batch of this Quick and Easy Barbecue Sauce. Bacon – You only need a slice or so for each burger. If you prefer not to have leftover bacon to use up, simply grab a few slices from your store’s butcher case, or use pre-cooked microwave bacon. Buns – Any bun will do, though I prefer a brioche bun. Hawaiian sweet buns are also delicious. You could even try your hand at homemade hamburger buns.
