Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Grill

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

  2. 2

    Season the Patties

    Season the Certified Angus Beef patties with salt and pepper on both sides.

  3. 3

    Grill the Patties

    Place the burger patties on the grill and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness.

  4. 4

    Cook the Bacon

    While the patties are cooking, in a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crispy. Remove and let drain on paper towels.

  5. 5

    Grill the Pineapple and Ham

    In the last few minutes of cooking, add the pineapple rings and ham to the grill to warm them up and add grill marks.

  6. 6

    Add Cheese

    In the final minute of grilling, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty to melt.

  7. 7

    Assemble the Burger

    On the bottom half of each burger bun, place a lettuce leaf, a tomato slice, the burger patty with melted cheese, a slice of ham, two slices of bacon, and a grilled pineapple ring. Drizzle BBQ sauce on top and cover with the top half of the bun.

  8. 8

    Serve

    Serve immediately with your favorite sides.
