In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and Parmesan cheese. Mix gently until well combined, but do not overwork the meat.
Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each portion into a burger patty about 3/4-inch thick.
Heat a grill or stovetop grill pan over medium-high heat and lightly coat with olive oil to prevent sticking.
Place the burger patties on the grill and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired doneness. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches 160Β°F (71Β°C).
While the burgers are cooking, brush the pineapple rings lightly with olive oil and place them on the grill. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side or until caramelized and slightly softened.
Toast the hamburger buns lightly on the grill, if desired.
Assemble the burgers: place a lettuce leaf on the bottom half of each bun, followed by the cooked burger patty. Drizzle a generous amount of BBQ sauce over the patty.
Top each patty with a grilled pineapple ring and a slice of red onion. Add the top half of the bun to complete the burger.
Serve the burgers immediately with your favorite side dishes, such as fries, coleslaw, or a fresh salad. Enjoy!
