Ingredients

  • 1 lb Ground Beef
  • 8 Slices Swiss or Jack Cheese
  • 8 Hawaiian slider or dinner rolls

Candied Pineapple and Jalapeños

  • 2 Cups Pineapple Chunks, fresh, frozen or canned
  • 1 Jalapeño, seeds, stems and veins removed and sliced into thin rings
  • ½ Cup Brown Sugar
  • ¼ teaspoon Salt

Teriyaki Mayonnaise

  • ½ Cup Mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon Teriyaki Sauce

Instructions

Burger Patties

  • Divide hamburger into 8 pieces and form into burgers.
  • Season with salt and pepper.
  • Refrigerate until you're ready to grill.
  • Grill burgers on medium-high heat for about 4 minutes and then flip burgers and add cheese and grill for 4 more minutes for medium-rare.
  • Slice slider buns or rolls in half and place them face down on the grill to toast, for 1-2 minutes.
  • Remove all burgers and buns and assemble burgers.

Candied Pineapple and Jalapeños

  • Place pineapple and jalapeño rings into a sauce pan on medium heat.
  • Add ½ cup of brown sugar.
  • Add ¼ teaspoon Salt.
  • Place lid on pot and bring to a boil.
  • Once it starts to boil, remove lid and turn heat to medium-low.
  • Simmer and stir occasionally until liquid dissolves and pineapple and jalapeños have gotten sticky and caramelized. This should take about 20-30 minutes.

Teriyaki Mayo

  • Combine mayonnaise and teriyaki sauce and mix well.
  • Set aside until burgers are ready to serve.

To Assemble Burgers

  • Spread teriyaki mayo on top and bottom bun.
  • Place burger patty on bottom bun.
  • Top Burger patty with Candied Pineapple and Jalapeños.
  • Add Top bun to top and serve!
  • Enjoy! ♥️

Notes

Notes

  • If you want, feel free to fry the burgers in a skillet on your stove.
  • These don't have to be sliders! Feel free to make them full size burgers, or even double burgers if you are feeling, especially ravenous!
  • Using just one jalapeño adds just a subtle spiciness, so if you and your guests love the heat, add another jalapeño or 2!
  • Serve with lots of napkins!
  • Enjoy! ♥️
