Hawaiian Burgers


Ingredients

Hamburger
Ham
Cheese
Pineapple
Buns

Directions
-Form your burger, (i use about 1/4lb of 85-15 ground beef) and cook at a med-med/high temp to desired doneness.

-Cut a slice of pineapple so that you have a round of pineapple. Remove core and skin from slice. Cook on a grill over med heat or i use my cast iron pan with ridges in it for that grilled look and taste. cook till golden brown.

-Cut a thin slice of ham and grill or use the same pan as the pineapple, if you have room. i cook the ham so that it has almost a crust on the outside. but any doneness will do.

-Put cheese on the burger when its almost done and let the cheese melt over the burger. When done build your burger as desired and enjoy!!

P.S. This burger doesn't really work well with ketchup but that's all up to you!

Variations

1) The first time i made this burger i didn't use ham, instead i used a jalapeno that i "grilled" like my pineapple and chopped it up and put on top of the pineapple. This gives the burger some heat and also adds another flavor profile to the dish. I loved the jalaps on it :)

2) For a glutton free Hawaiian burger just remove the bun!
