Time 50m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 lb ground beef, 85/15
kosher salt, to taste
freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1 cup barbecue sauce, plus more for basting
8 slices bacon
4 oz cheddar cheese, diced
4 pineapple rounds, cored
nonstick cooking spray, for greasing
4 hamburger rolls
4 pieces lettuce

Steps:

  • Preheat the grill to 375°F (190°C).
  • In a large bowl, season the ground beef with salt and pepper. Add the barbecue sauce and mix with your hands until well incorporated.
  • Divide the meat into 4 baseball-sized portions. Roll into balls and place on a baking sheet.
  • Using a clean, empty soda or beer can, press into the center of a beef ball to form a crater, shaping the beef up around the sides of the can. Smooth out any cracks in the meat. Wrap 2 strips of bacon around the outside, using toothpicks to secure. Remove the can and fill the crater with 1 ounce of diced cheddar. 5. Repeat with the remaining burgers.
  • Transfer the burger bowls to the grill over indirect heat and cook for 25-30 minutes for medium doneness, basting with more barbecue sauce every 10-15 minutes.
  • While the burgers are cooking, pat the pineapple rounds dry with a paper towel. Spray lightly with nonstick spray. Add to the grill over direct heat and cook for 1-2 minutes per side, until grill marks appear.
  • Toast the buns on the grill for 1-2 minutes, until golden brown.
  • To assemble, place a piece of lettuce on a bottom bun and top with a burger and a grilled pineapple round. Finish with the top bun.
  • Enjoy!
