Perfect combination of sweet, spicy, and savory all on America’s favorite sandwich: the Burger!
Ingredients:
- For the garlic aioli:
- ⅓ cup mayonaisse
- 1 large clove garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ⅛ teaspoon black pepper
- For the burgers:
- 1⅓ pounds ground chuck
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- ⅛ teaspoon cayenne
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 4 pineapple rings (about ⅓ inch thick)
- ¼ cup teriyaki sauce
- 4 slices of pepperjack cheese
- 4 hamburger buns
- Lettuce (optional)
Instructions:
- For the Aioli: Mix all ingredients together and refrigerate until ready to use.
- For the Burgers: Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Divide ground beef into 4 equal patties (1/3 pound each). Mix together, brown sugar, cayenne, and salt. Divide mixture and rub equal amounts onto each burger patty (1/8 of the mixture per side). Spray pre-heated grill with nonstick spray and place pineapple sliced straight onto the grill grates. Cook for about 1½ minutes per side allowing grill marks to appear. Remove from grill and set aside.
- Turn grill down to medium heat and add the hamburgers. Cook to desired doneness (flipping halfway through). We did ours about 4 per side. Then, baste the patties with ½ of the teryaki and flip (so the basted side is down) and cook for another 1 minute. Repeat with remaining side. Next, add one slice of cheese per patty and close lid for another 30 seconds to allow cheese to melt. Open and remove burgers from grill.
- To Assemble: Take one hamburger bun (we toast ours in the oven first, but that is up to personal preference!) and slather 1 tablespoon of aioli onto the top half of the bun. On the bottom half of the bun, stack one hamburger patty, followed by a slice of pineapple, and top with lettuce (if desired). Add top half of bun and serve. You may serve with an additional side of teryaki if desired!
