A couple nights ago, I made Pineapple Bacon Burgers for dinner. The recipe is on page 130 or online here. It is definitely a quick and easy dinner! In fact, it was so quick and easy I didn't take a lot of pictures. Well, I was talking on the phone when I made it too. Guess that didn't help.
First you season the ground hamburger. Just salt and paper, folks! Easy. One tip that I read in the cookbook that I didn't know is that the best grilled burgers are 80-90% lean. Leaner burger dries out and shrinks; fattier burger is too heavy and greasy. Who knew?! Not me.
Once your burgers hit the grill, get cooking your bacon. I normally cut my bacon in half before cooking it for burgers. Since I was talking on the phone, I forgot to do that.
While you're grilling your burger, you brush each side with BBQ sauce. Once the burgers are almost done, you grill your pineapple rings and toast your buns. Ooh la la!
Like my radioactive pineapple photo? Every picture my hubby took of the grilling pineapple looks like the pineapple is glowing. It really did look normal. Promise!
Finally, you place your burger on the toasted bun, top with a pineapple slice and a couple slices of bacon. Then you drizzle it with some BBQ sauce and eat!
It was a hit with the entire crew. It was a nice twist on a basic burger without needing a ton of ingredients. Totally recommended on a night that you don't have a lot of time...or that you need to make a call while cooking dinner.
