Big Kahuna Burger
My Big Kahuna Burger is full of big Hawaiian flavor!! Topped with a pineapple teriyaki glaze, Swiss cheese, grilled pineapple, and ham.
Ingredients
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon low sodium soy sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 pound lean ground beef
- 2 tablespoons pineapple juice
- 2 tablespoons teriyaki sauce
- 4 slices brown sugar ham
- 4 slices red onion
- 2 slices Swiss cheese
- lettuce
- mayonnaise
- 2 sesame seed hamburger buns
Instructions
- Preheat grill to medium-high.
- Mix pineapple juice and teriyaki sauce together. Set aside.
- Mix beef, ginger, garlic, salt and soy sauce in a small bowl. Divide into 2 patties and form into patties slightly larger than your bun. Make a slight indentation in the center of the burger to prevent it from doming up in the center. The indentation will rise as your burger cooks.
- Grill until golden brown and slightly charred (about 3-5 minutes), turning once (cook for 3 minutes on the other side for medium). Baste with pineapple teriyaki sauce as your burger cooks. Try not to press down on your burger with a spatula. It will cause the juices to escape and will create a dry burger!
- Grill pineapple slices until pineapple have golden brown grill marks on both sides.
- Toast hamburger buns by placing on grill until grill marks form. Do not walk away during this process. Toast can turn to ash in the blink of an eye.
- Spread mayo on bottom bun. Top with lettuce, burger, Swiss cheese, grilled pineapple, red onion and ham.
- Serve and enjoy!
