Method

Burger Patty Preparation

  1. 1

    Mix the Patty Ingredients

    In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Mix until just combined, taking care not to overwork the meat.

  2. 2

    Form the Patties

    Divide the meat mixture into two equal portions and form each portion into a patty, about 3/4 inch thick.

Grilling

  1. 3

    Preheat the Grill

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If using a stovetop grill pan, heat it over medium-high heat.

  2. 4

    Grill the Patties

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

  3. 5

    Grill the Pineapple and Ham

    In the last few minutes of cooking, add the pineapple slices and ham slices to the grill. Grill for about 2-3 minutes on each side until caramelized and heated through.

Burger Assembly

  1. 6

    Prepare the Vegetables

    While the patties and toppings are grilling, slice the onion and tomato. Tear the lettuce leaves to fit the buns.

  2. 7

    Assemble the Burger

    Spread mayonnaise on the bottom half of each burger bun. Place a grilled patty on top, followed by a slice of cheddar cheese, grilled ham, grilled pineapple, lettuce, onion, and tomato. Add ketchup and mustard to taste, then top with the other half of the bun.
