If you are looking for a way to bring some tropical vibes to your burger night, you have to try this Hawaiian Burger recipe. It is one of the most delicious and easy burgers I have ever made. It has everything you need for a satisfying and flavorful meal: juicy beef, melted cheese, sweet pineapple, crunchy onion, and a spicy-sweet sauce.
This recipe is very simple and takes only 25 minutes to make. You start by making the sauce, which is a mix of mayonnaise, teriyaki sauce, honey and cayenne pepper. It is creamy, tangy and has a nice kick to it. You can make it ahead of time and store it in the fridge until you are ready to use it.
Next, you grill the pineapple and bell pepper rings until they have beautiful grill marks. They add a burst of freshness and color to the burger. You can also use a skillet to brown them if you don’t have a grill.
Then, you season the ground beef and form it into four patties. You cook them on the grill or in a skillet until they are cooked through and topped with teriyaki sauce and cheese. The cheese melts and makes the burger even more mouthwatering.
Finally, you toast the onion rolls with some butter and spread some sauce on both sides. You assemble the burgers by placing the patties on the bottom buns and topping them with pineapple, onion, bell pepper and lettuce. You cover them with the top buns and press them lightly to hold everything together.
The result is a burger that is out of this world. The beef is tender and juicy, the cheese is gooey and stretchy, the pineapple is sweet and juicy, the onion is crisp and sharp, the bell pepper is crunchy and sweet, the lettuce is fresh and crisp, and the sauce is divine. The onion rolls are soft and buttery and soak up all the flavors.
I made this recipe for my family last weekend and they loved it. They said it was the best burger they ever had. They even asked me to make it again this weekend. I was happy to oblige because I loved it too. It was fun to make and even more fun to eat. We had a blast eating these burgers with some fries and coleslaw on the side. We felt like we were in Hawaii for a night.
