Yield: 4 burgers
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef (preferably 80/20)
- Coarse salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 4 fresh pineapple rings about 1-inch thick
- 1/4 cup Lid Licking Carolina Sweet Habanero sauce, divided
- 4 brioche burger buns, toasted
- 4 slices white American cheese (or pepper jack for more spice)
- Optional toppings: mayo, butter lettuce, thinly sliced red onion
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium-high.
Form 4 burger patties, season with salt & pepper, and grill until desired doneness, about 3-4 minutes per side for medium rare. Add cheese in the last minute to melt.
While the burgers cook, brush the pineapple rings with the olive oil. Place them on the grill and cook for 2–3 minutes per side, brushing with about 2 tablespoons of the Carolina Sweet Habanero sauce as they grill. Flip once, until lightly charred and caramelized.
Build your burgers: bottom bun, mayo, lettuce, burger patty, red onion, a drizzle of the Carolina Sweet Habanero sauce, grilled pineapple, top bun.
