I really enjoy making these special burgers with a surprise inside, writes Ann Couch of Halifax, North Carolina. The homemade sauce, with brown sugar, mustard and ketchup, makes these tropical grilled sandwiches even better. Ingredients:
1/4 cup packed brown sugar |
1/4 cup ketchup |
1 tablespoon prepared mustard |
1/2 pound lean ground beef (90% lean) |
2 slices unsweetened pineapple |
1/8 teaspoon salt |
1/8 teaspoon pepper |
2 hamburger buns, split |
2 lettuce leaves |
Directions:
1. In a small saucepan, combine the brown sugar, ketchup and mustard. Cook over medium heat for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
2. Meanwhile, shape beef into four patties. Place pineapple slices on two patties; top with remaining patties. Seal edges; sprinkle with salt and pepper.
3. Using long-handled tongs, moisten a paper towel with cooking oil and lightly coat the grill rack. Grill burgers, covered, over medium-hot heat or broil 4 in. from the heat for 7-9 minutes on each side or until a meat thermometer reads 160° and juices run clear. Serve on buns with sauce and lettuce. Yield: 2 servings.
