Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- 4 Hawaiian rolls or burger buns
- 4 canned pineapple rings
- 0.25 cup teriyaki sauce
- 4 Swiss cheese slices
- 1 red onion
- 4 lettuce leaves
- 2 tbsp mayonnaise
- 2 tbsp butter
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 0.5 tsp garlic powder
Instructions
Preheat your grill or stovetop grill pan to medium-high heat.
In a medium bowl, season the ground beef with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Mix gently to combine, being careful not to overwork the meat.
Divide the beef mixture into four equal portions and shape them into burger patties.
Slice the red onion into thin rings and set aside. Separate the lettuce leaves and rinse them if needed.
Brush each pineapple ring with a little bit of the teriyaki sauce. Reserve the rest of the sauce for brushing onto the patties.
Place the burger patties onto the preheated grill. Cook for about 4-5 minutes per side, brushing each patty with teriyaki sauce as you go. Cook until internal temperature reaches 160°F (medium doneness).
During the last 2 minutes of cooking the patties, place a slice of Swiss cheese on top of each patty to melt.
Meanwhile, grill the pineapple rings for about 2 minutes on each side, until they are lightly caramelized.
Slice the Hawaiian rolls or burger buns and lightly butter the cut sides. Toast them on the grill until golden brown, about 1-2 minutes.
To assemble the burgers, spread a thin layer of mayonnaise on the bottom half of each bun. Top with a lettuce leaf, then a burger patty with melted cheese.
Place a grilled pineapple ring over the patty, followed by a few red onion rings. Add the top bun and press gently to secure.
Serve immediately with your favorite side dishes, such as sweet potato fries or a side salad.
