Ingredients

  • 4 fresh Pineapple Slices
  • 2 large Beef Patties
  • Hamburger Seasoning (See Notes Below for a recipe and sources.)
  • 2 slices Swiss Cheese
  • 2 Hamburger Buns
  • 3 tablespoons Mayonnaise
  • 1 cup shredded Lettuce
  • 2 slices White Onion
  • 2 slices Tomato
  • 2 ounces Teriyaki Sauce, store-bought or Homemade (We have a delicious -- and easy! -- recipe that tastes just like the teriyaki sauce you get at your favorite Asian take-out joint! See Notes below for a Link to this recipe)

Instructions

  • Preheat grill to high.
  • Place pineapple slices, the beef patties and both halves of the buns on hot grill.
  • Season the burgers on the grill with the hamburger seasoning to lock in the flavor.
  • Remove the bun when it is toasted.
  • When ready, flip the pineapples and the burgers. Pineapples should cook a bit faster than the burgers.
  • As soon as you flip, place the Swiss cheese on the burgers. Top with the slices of pineapple as soon as the their 2nd side is cooked.
  • Remove burgers from grill when cook to your liking.
  • Place the bottom buns on a plate.
  • Spread with mayonnaise.
  • Add lettuce.
  • Add onions.
  • Add tomatoes.
  • Place burger/cheese/pineapple stacks on top of the tomatoes.
  • Spoon the teriyaki sauce over the top of all.
  • Top with the crown bun.
  • Serve hot.

NOTES

Hamburger Seasoning - Islands does NOT give out the recipe for -- nor do they sell -- their "secret seasoning." And even Alton cannot find a good recipe for it. We'll keep looking and try to concoct one ourselves. In the meantime, try Red Robin Seasoning Recipe or here are a few commercial brands you might try - Hamburger Seasonings.
