Hawaiian Ham & Ground Pork Burgers

Hawaiian Burgers H 500x500

Ingredients

  • 20 oz Pineapple Slices in Juice
  • 2 Sliced Green Onions
  • 2 oz Shredded Monterey Jack Cheese
  • 1/2 lbs Ground Pork
  • 1/2 lbs Ham Loaf
  • 6 Tbsp Teriyaki Sauce
  • 1/2 Red Onion
  • 1 Tbsp Cooking Oil
  • 4 Onion Buns

Instructions

  • Chop 1 of the pineapple slices into very small pieces.
  • Slice green onions and shred Monterey Jack cheese.
  • Place ham loaf, ground pork, chopped pineapple, sliced green onions, shredded cheese, and 2 Tbsp of the teriyaki sauce in a large bowl. Mix the ingredients together by hand until they are evenly incorporated.
  • Use mixture to create 4 patties.
  • Thinly slice the red onion.
  • Add 1/2 Tbsp cooking oil to a large skillet and heat over medium-high. When the skillet and oil are very hot, add the red onion slices and allow them to cook until browned and caramelized on the bottom.
  • Stir the onions and then let them brown again. Avoid stirring too often, as this will prevent the browning and caramelization on the edges. When the onions are mostly browned, transfer them to a bowl and set them aside.
  • Turn the heat under the skillet down to medium, add 1/2 Tbsp oil to the skillet, swirl to coat the surface, then add the burger patties.
  • Cook the patties until browned on one side, then carefully flip and cook until browned on the second side and cooked through (about 5 minutes per side)
  • Transfer the cooked burgers to a clean plate or cutting board.
  • Pat four more pineapple rings dry with a paper towel, then add them to the skillet. Continue to cook the pineapple slices over medium until they’re hot and some of the browned bits from the skillet have dissolved off the skillet and onto the pineapple (about 2-3 minutes each side).
  • To build the burgers add a cooked patty and drizzle another tablespoon of teriyaki sauce over the burger. Top with one of the cooked pineapple slices and a few of the caramelized red onion.
