Spicy Hawaiian Burgers
Description
The Spicy Hawaiian Burgers recipe starts by combining pineapple, jalapeños, onions, and cilantro into a fresh relish, setting aside the sweet and spicy topping. The homemade Hawaiian BBQ sauce is prepared separately by simmering teriyaki sauce, ketchup, brown sugar, garlic, and crushed red pepper flakes until thickened and fragrant. Ground beef is shaped into patties seasoned with garlic powder, chili powder, salt, and pepper, then grilled to the recommended internal temperature. While still hot, pepper jack cheese slices are placed on the patties to melt.
Assembly involves spreading a chipotle mayo mixture on the buns' bottom halves, then layering the grilled patties, crispy bacon strips, pineapple relish, and the Hawaiian BBQ sauce before topping with the bun tops. The result is a burger offering a balance of savory, spicy, sweet, and smoky flavors with a range of textures from tender beef, melty cheese, crisp bacon, and juicy pineapple relish.
The recipe also suggests using brioche or sweet Hawaiian buns to complement the burger's sweet and spicy notes. These burgers work well as a flavorful and satisfying main dish for grill sessions or casual meals.
